I am sitting down and planning out the authors of the month for 2023. I went through all of my all time favorite authors over the course of the last couple of years. I thought I would take the time to ask y’all to offer up some suggestions on authors that you would like to see highlighted here.
While many of the authors I have highlighted are romance authors they don’t have to be romance. Any authors that you love and think the rest of us need to know more about. I have such an enormous list of books in both my kindle and nook. Not to mention all the actual books I own. However, creating the list for every year is a bit difficult. I have January and February and that’s it.
Take a few moments and rack your brains. Do you have a go to author that you would read if they wrote the back of the toilet paper package? Maybe you have an author in mind but really want to know more about them to commit. Maybe you want me to giveaway some of their books so you can have a chance at winning them and save yourself a little money. Whatever the case let me know.
To make things a little sweeter I am giving away a 12.9 iPad Pro to one very lucky reader. Trust me when I tell you this is the iPad that you want to read from. Especially if you are a little older like me. I don’t have to make the words so large on this thing. Also, my brother, sister-in-law, and I play Fun Run and it is easier to win when I can see everything.
I would love to see Janet Evanovich featured, working hard to read more, now that family life has slowed down
I’ve always been a big fan of Amy Tan.
Wally Lamb is a great author.

K.F. Breene
Lauren Dane
Vivian Arend
Mari Carr
Keri Arthur
Elizabeth Briggs
C.N. Crawford
Definetly agree with you about Mari Carr
Christine Feehan is one that I love.
Penny Reid and J.R. Ward.
I would love to see author Davalynn Spencer featured she write great western romance.
Here are some of my favorite authors for romance, Mia Sheridan, Jewel E.Ann, Ivy Smoak, Apryl Baker, Carian Cole, Tracey Jerald, Linda Howard and Janet Dailey. I am a fan of Stephen King and anything sci-fi. James S.A. Corey, the pen name for authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck wrote The Expanse series which was made into a TV series. Although it is an epic sci-fi drama series, there is an epic romance at its core and a thoroughly enjoyable read. Thank you so much for the giveaway and I hope that you will find some stories to love as well from any of the suggestions that I have provided here
