I do have a Janet Evanovich bookmark that is popular here. I haven't read
all the authors, so can't vouch for all of them. Many I found in What Do
I Read Next? books. I've starred ones I've read and found not unlike
Janet E. Authors are:
Susan Anderson
Linda Barnes
Lawrence Block
Jan Burke
Harlan Coben
Jennifer Crusie*
Selma Eichler
G.M. Ford
Carl Hiaasen
Sparkle Hayter
Jane Heller*
Susan Isaacs*
Marne Davis Kellogg
Wendi Lee
Lindsay Maracotta
Sharyn McCrumb *, but it's been a while
Susan Elizabeth Phillips*
Marissa Piesman
Gillian Roberts
Chris Rogers
Jane Rubino
Jen Sacks
Sarah Shankman
Lisa Scottoline
Judith Viorst
Donald Westlake
Hope this helps.

Since Maggie brought it up ( and I offered to send her a copy) I though I would tell you all about my Evanovich list. We are moving away from bookmarks and towards keeping all kinds of lists on a Readers' Page accessed from the web or our catalougs and featuring hot links from the book titles to the catalog. I am more or less in charge of producing the content and my Evanovich list is the one I am most proud of.
The list is divided into sections so if the reader likes Evanovich because of the steamy ronmance there is one set of titles. If the reader prefers sarcastic romantic suspense there is another list, etc. If attatchments are allowed here, I might could post it. Otherwise, it might fit without attatching if anyone is interested, I could experiment.

If you sent us all the url, you wouldn't have to send attachments. Also, I
am interested in the page as well as the lists.
Thanks, Annette
