oh Gina, that is a hard one. I really liked Safe Harbor, but I really like all her books.

Excellent nomination, Wendy. Which of hers is your fave book?

I would like to nominate Luanne Rice I have read almost all her books, and love her writing style. She is another one of my favorite authors.

Awwww, thanks Kathleen!

I'd like to renominate Lisa Shearin myself. She's an awesome author who deserves the nomination. A fabulous story-teller.

I am going to nominate Lisa Shearin for June 2009 Author of the Month as a welcome back to the site present for Gina, our moderator.

Now that Jodi Picoult has won the May Author of the Month poll, please place your June Author of the Month suggestions here.

This suggestion thread will remain active until around May 15th. After that date, we hope to have a poll up for you to vote for your selection for June Author of the Month.

Nominate any author, living or deceased. If Willy the Wonder Shakespeare is your fave, post him here.

Please write a sentence or two on why you like that author.

Please limit your suggestions to two authors per member.

You absolutely may renominate someone from any previous month's suggestions.
