I need more to read but I like Jim's style of writing. Is there another author like him? Or someone as entertaining as him? The closest I can place is R.A. Salvatore but I have read his works too. Also, I have read Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Charlaine Harris. I like sups, paranormal. It can be romance or mystery or horror (I don't know why we have to divide those up; can't people write all three at once?). I read a lot. I get tired of digging through all the second rate to sniff out the greats. You know, authors that make their characters seem real and have detail without bogging down; keep it interresting and exciting and make you sympathetic. And paranormal - much much paranormal!
