I remembered Jennifer Rardin, a couple of hours ago, but you beat me Victoria!

Just checked Elizabeth Briggs and noticed she's still a GR author, so I've notified support. I don't think I've come across her before, but her books look good.

Didn't realise some of those authors are no longer with us :(

I'll update in the next few days.

I'd forgotten about LA Banks.

I've got some L.A. Banks vampire books hanging around, don't think I've read them yet.

I DNF’d bk1 and never tried again 😐

Me the same, DNF, put it on my reading slowly get back to it, but I remember not enjoying it so never have gone back.. I've meant to try a different series by her but never pushed. I know a lot of authors that I tried a different series and liked them (or vise versa) better (less), Keri Arthur is one of those.

I have Sue Grafton on my big TBR pile. She ended up dying just after "Y" was released. Her family said that she didn't believe in Ghost writers so the series now sits without her predicted "Z is for Zero" book. I wonder if she had a outline. Maybe not as it was 2 years between the last 2 books.
