Gotta keep on bloggin', AWAY!
Man, I'm losin' it big time, eh? I've been changing and adding stuff all night, and I'm dizzy from html code. And I'm not even a blonde. ~ducks from the blondes out there~
I got a huge box in the mail today of more books. If you're in the market for a certain book, I highly suggest eBay seller sjtaylor. She is super sweet, combines shipping, and has this huge honker selection of books, many of which are 1st editions. Today I got some more of my favs: Sandra Brown and Jenny Crusie, but added some new I hadn't read. My TBR (To Be Read) shelf is bulging now like Bubba after a Thanksgiving buffet. But, I need to research my line, right? Right. So I wrote suspense, and I had to have the basics: Lisa Gardner, Sandra Brown, Linda Howard, Suz Brockmann, Tami Hoag. It's like...law. At least it should be. And I'm still collecting those as I find them.
But NOW I'm researching comedy, since so many people are telling me I have that "voice". THAT means a ton of new books! There are a lot I just got today that I hadn't heard of, and I love it. So here's your assignment: Color outside the lines. Get outta the rut. Go and buy a new book from an author you've never read before. Because who knows? Someday that new author just may be me. ~grin~

Hey, Brenda,
For suspense, don't forget Iris Johansen and Kay Hooper.
There are lots and lots of funny chick lit/romantic comedy writers out there. Of course, I'm blanking on everyone except Katie MacAlister and Jenny Crusie. \;+))) Not a lot of angst in chick lit, really. Some dark humor, but mostly upbeat.
