Thank you - I LOVED your answers!
ChatKat:
With the exeption of Jenny McCarthy (I've not read) your list is mine. If you like Sue Grafton with her alphabetical titles, I think you would like Janet Evanovich with her numbered series. It seems her character Stephanie Plum is Sue Graton's Kinsey Millhone's much less refined city cousin. I don't care for Evanovich's other novels, but her writing became much better as she went from "One For the Money", "Two for the Dough" to her latest, I think, which is number Twelve & I can't think of the title right now. Brain atrophy, you know, at my advanced age.
Also I agree that James Grisham is great, both fiction and non fiction. I think Grafton has "S is for Silence" out now, but all I find on Amazon are sales from the UK, not sure why. Keep on reading, girl, and WRITING!
