Oh, my what a diverse bunch of readers we are! I love artsy books and I really love mysteries/crime/cop stories from a man's POV. So, I love John Sanford. But my most fave book is was written by Linda Greenlaw, The Hungry Ocean. Written about a woman that is a captain of her fishing boat and the stories that grew around her crew and travels. I identified with her so very much because I was a manager of a small mill. My crew at times, was much like hers. (also she was great friends with the captain of the story behind The Perfect Storm)
Thanks so much for the fab give away! Watch for mine!

Erg - a fave? I don't have a fave per se - I love too, too many authors. Right now, though I'm loving Christine Feehan's Game series, and I will always be a Stephen King fan (The Talisman is incredible!) and Dean Koontz (One door away from Heaven is beautiful) Madeline L'Engle's Time Quartet is a long-time fave.
