Authors: Hard to Find Letters

A place for the hard to find letters for author names, A-Z challenges. With author hyperlinks to GoodReads profile page.

You do NOT need to alphabetize any list you post. I can do that later. However, if you would like to know of a great site that ignores the first indefinite ("a" "an" "some" "any") or the first definite ("the") articles, here is the link: http://alphabetizer.flap.tv/index.php

Click on the Smiley Letters to take you to the posts below:

Submissions welcome. :o)

EDIT: 11/2/14
I posted and , just because they are so prevalent in spelling words; no links or genres noted. Maybe someday.

Thanks, Sandra! ☺ Neat.

[Sandra]

I'll keep poking around :D

Yvette Hines - erotic romance

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Super.

[Sandra]

Xara X. Xanakas - paranormal, m/m

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Got it. ☺

[Sandra]

Clarissa Yip - romance

[Julianna]

Thanks for starting this list, Lisa Kay. It might come in handy for one of my challenges. Here are a few more authors I've used to fill these difficult letters in the past:
Irene Brand - Inspirational Romance
Abby Irish - Chick Lit
Janette Oke - Inspirational Romance
Cathy Yardley - Contemporary Romance, Chick Lit

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Thanks so much, Julie! Got 'm.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod]

I'm just now getting notifications for this thread!!! YAY! Maybe Goodreads has this fixed???

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

I know how you feel, Dhes! LOL! It is embarrassing when it happens (or rather, doesn't happen) on one of my book reviews, however!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod]

GAH! I can imagine, Lisa Kay!

In almost every group I'm a moderator in, even though I have it set to send me emails on every comment, on every thread.... in almost EVERY group I moderate in, I don't get the emails! But today, in this group, they've started coming in and I didn't change a thing.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

LMAO! Go figure.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod]

I wonder if it has something to do with the shut down the other night and maintenance.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Could be. Either that or (off-color humor follows)…(view spoiler)[ a laxative was finally given! (hide spoiler)]

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod]

Pffffffft!!! I was beginning to think that's what was needed!

[Heather L]

For authors, last name with U: Thrity Umrigar

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Thanks, Heather L!

[Julianna]

I met three "Q" authors over the weekend, Tara Taylor Quinn, Erin Quinn & Anna Questerly and a "V" author too, Tami Vinson

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Thanks so much, Julie! Love adding to this list. I found Tami Vinson's GoodReads author page; however, I didn't find any books written by her yet. Do you know her genre?

[Julianna]

Weird...I wonder if they got deleted because nobody "rescued" them. She's published two books, Winter's Heat and Love's Redemption, both are interracial contemporaries.

Sorry about forgetting to put genres. You can add Paranormal to Erin Quinn as that's mostly what she writes and YA to Anna Questerly.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Done, done, & done! Thanks again, Julie! ☺

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Any updates to this, ladies?

[Julianna]

Here are some more ideas:
I = Judith Ivory - Historical
O = Kathleen O'Reilly - Historical, Contemporary
O = Terry Odell - Contemporary
Q = Julia Quinn - Historical
V = Donna VanLiere - Inspirational Fiction
V = Karl Vanghen - Romantic Historical Fiction
Y = Celia Yeary - Historical, Contemporary, Western
X = Xondra Day - Contemporary, Paranormal, M/M.

[Sandra]

Xandra Gregory - scifi rom as well as GLBT

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Thanks, Julie! **smacks forhead** How could I have left off Julia Quinn & Judith Ivory?

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Thanks, Sandra!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Okay, I added the letter "F" b/c I'm having trouble finding romance writers that start with that letter. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Lori Foster

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Yeah, just got an e-mail from Katie about Ms. Foster. I can't believe I forgot her! She's one of my favs. **smacks forehead**

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

lol not too hard. Don't want ya addled!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Yeah, especially I've taken two Imitrexs since 4 a.m. for a migraine that won't go away!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

I hate headaches :(

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

God, yes! My doctor told me they only last over a 15 years spread. Nineteen years later... still having them. I think I'm making someone else have a lower average.

[Sandra]

Never, ever heard of a time frame for migraines. My BIL still suffers and its been well over 30 yrs. Sorry LK :(

[Sandra]

From my romance shelf, there are a couple more but I don't know how good they are:-


Carolyn Faulkner BDSM
Jane Feather Historical
A.K. Fenley Romance
Gina Ferris Romance (one of her names)
Renee Field Romance
Sandra Field Romance
Glenna Finley Romance
Donna Fletcher Highlanders
Jaide Fox SciFi Rom & PNR
