The hardest thing for me to do would be to sit here and give you a comprehensive list of all the authors I enjoy. There are so many, but like us all, I have my favorites, and they change with each book I read.

Many writers have a great love for a variety of books, including the classics and modern day ABA bestsellers. Because I gear my reading choices as well as my writing towards the CBA market and the Contemporary Romance genre, I'll keep my list to those.

Plus, yeah, I'm not not a big classics reader. I know, terrible, but I must tell the truth!

My all time FAVORITE author would be Francine Rivers. I read Redeeming Love as a teen, and was forever changed. Her writing ignited a fire in me to write better and write deeper. I'd also highly recommend the Mark of the Lion series, which she newly re-released.

Other authors that I've read recently include:

Susan May Warren
Noble Legacy Series

Denise Hunter

Tamara Leigh
Faking Grace, Splitting Harriet, Perfecting Kate

Deeanne Gist
