So far I have read Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackeys and Janet Morris. Isaac Isomov was a little to technical for my taste. I love Piers Anthony's work. Janet has the fourth series out on Cruiser Dreams. Anybody else read any of Janet's work?

THE KERRION EMPIRE: Book (1) One: Dream Dancer; Book (2) Two: Cruiser Dreams; Book (3) Three: Earth Dreams I am not sure what the fourth book is but enjoyed the first three.

If you like Anne McCaffrey, you'll enjoy Gregory Keyes. I always recommend his books especially the Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series.

Thanks for the mention. Have you had a chance to check out Stephen R. Donaldson's work? Stephen is a doctor who has dealt with leprosy and the books are just fantastic. It is the Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever series.

I have read a couple of his books; they read just like Tolkien's. Although most fantasy writers seem to be heavily influenced by Tolkien!

Great recommendation! I read Catwings to the kids quite often and they always love it!

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are really good. They have a series called the Death Gate Cycle that was awsome.

Lisa Goldstein is good as well, particularly the novel The Red Magician.
