LAUDEDED AUTHORS
Fiction authors. We all have our favorites. Here are some of mine, along with their websites. Please, check them out and get their stuff. Some of these people are New York Times Bestselling Authors. Some of them have not, yet, made it onto that presitigious list. Othes are newly published or, as of yet, still relatively unknown.
Investigate their writings. My hope is that you will enjoy these people and their works as much as I.
(This list is not in any particular order.)
