1157941 Why do people put more than one book from the same author?


message 2: by Morgan (last edited Mar 03, 2009 08:27AM) (new)

Nophoto-u-25x33 Because that author provides just the right combination to strike a continual cord in us. If the bell is struck hard enough, we want more. Like craving chocolate.

1355397 Can any one tell me...are there any other authors like Jim Butcher? I like the paranormal. I can do without the romance.

Nophoto-m-25x33 The dearth of votes for Charles DeLint is mind boggling and depressing.

I'd go with Simon Green. He's the closest I've found so far.

Morgan"


That's understandable but It says author which means just one book is needed. Now if that person has more than one series than find but only one book from the same series is sufficient.

Briggs has a romance going, but it doesn't rule the plot and I am on book #3 and no sex yet...I agree with you by the way this genre should not turn into "trash".
