In my quest to fill the void of afternoons while my daughter is at the learning center, I've visited the half-price book stores. I'm finding an unending supply of dollar books, both hardback and paperback. I came here with a grocery sack plum full of books, and now I have three!

I'm exploring new authors to me: Katherine Woodiwiss, Eileen Goudge, Rosamunde Pilcher, Maeve Binchy, Joy Fielding, just to name a few. Before I dive in, does anyone have experience reading any of these authors?

Please let me know your thoughts and also send me any names you think I may enjoy. I'm trying a few recommendations by Nora Roberts that I got from a friend in this business. She recommended Naked in Death, and the Chesapeake Bay series. I also found the three Born in.....books, and I'm anxious to see if anyone thinks I've started in the right direction.

I havent read these.

If you like western romance, i quite like Stacey Kayne. she has somderfuls sense of humour and again the heroines arent always perfect.

Carol finch and i like genell Dellin. lovely native american romances.

As for historical i love lynsays sand. Very humourous and often sexy too.

The other i listed are a great read too.

i am awaiting stacey kayne new group of books.

Don't you just love her books? some lovely humour int here too.

I have mailed her again to find out.

If you like Stacey Kayne you may like Heidi Betts.

Have you heard of her? She a few years ago did a western romance series. It starts with cinnamon and roses and then a promise of roses.

They are very good. I really enjoyed them.

I loved the heroes in stacey kayne books. Looking forward to moore.she also has walkers widow and callies convict to. Well worth a read,

I do love Stacey Kayne. I have never read one of her books that I did not like. Please let me know what she says about her new series coming out. I have never read anything by Heidi Betts, but I saw some of her books on amazon so I will check them out too.

i have had a reply from Stacey Kayne. Sounds like she has had some problems in her personal life and si very behind schedule.

So it looks like now that the first book in her new series will not be out until march and the next 2 will be quick to follow.Very much delayed as it was suppose to be out in the next few months i believe. I will let you know if i hear anything. I thought it was strange, as she hasn't updated her blog.
