N NY cat man I am a big Asimov fan!

I really like Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. They have a couple series going now: Agent Pendergast and a newer series about Nora Kelly, who was first introduced in a Pendergast novel. Both are really good.

I also like Clive Cussler and was sad when he passed. I think I've pretty much read every novel he wrote. I especially enjoyed the Dirk Pitt series, but the other ones are also good. The Isaac Bell series is excellent.

Where my cats are
I think all my favorite authors are Indie.

Modern Fiction: Carol Moncado (She writes a lot of royalty fiction; which is sort of a guilty pleasure in some ways. Not everything is but I love all her work. I think we’d be real life friends.)

Historical: Elizabeth Johns (but be careful searching…theres a similarly named author who writes “adult” fiction. Elizabeth Johns writes clean. (but not religious).)

Honorable mention: Kristi Ann Hunter. Also Historical Fiction; but she was traditionally published until recently, now indie.

I auto-buy from all 3 of these authors.

I love Herriot. When I first started reading his books, it was like eating an ice cream cone.

I like Louis Penny, William Kent Kruegar, Jacqueline Winspear, C.J. Box, Harlan Corben, J.A.Jance, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Jonathan Kellerman, Kristen Hannah, to name a few. I like to read a lot.

Terry Pratchett. I tend to like specific books or series rather than authors; thus I wouldn’t say Dorothy L Sayers is one of my favourite authors, because while I love her Peter Wimsey series, I’m not much into her Montague Egg stories, and have no interest in reading her work on other subjects.
