Authors

Following are authors I am collecting book lists for, or that I have information about that may help to find books for different challenge prompts. Since these are authors I enjoy and/or have decided to read more of, they are heavy on the genres I most enjoy reading – mystery, thriller, fantasy, science fiction, and queer interest.

Notes: *Authors are listed in alphabetical order by last name. *For authors who write under multiple names, all name links go to the single master page for that author. *Series by the author are listed and linked at the top of the page. *The X column on some pages is helping me track which books I either own or have easy digital access to (without library waiting periods).
