Fantasy Aficionados discussion

I've enjoyed the Author Blog thread but know it can be hard to search through the various posts so I thought I would make a master list for easy access. I'll update this "first post" portion of this thread from time to time so we always have a comprehensive list. If you have authors you want added either post here or Author Blog Post and I'll get them added. I'll also keep them alphabetical (by last name).

Joe Abercrombie
Ilona Andrews
Patricia Briggs
Steven Brust
Orson Scott Card
Brenda Clough
Jennifer Crusie
Stephen Deas
Stacy Kane
Glenda Larke
Scott Lynch
Lee Martinez
Patrick Rothfuss
Brandon Sanderson
John Scalzi
Anne Stuart
Sherwood Smith
Michael J. Sullivan
Catherine Valente | also a personal blog here
Chuck Wendig
John C. Wright

Glad you put this together, been busy browsing some of them.

Just a question though, are you limiting this Master List to strictly 'professional' author blogs? I ask because Valente also has a live journal blog ( http://yuki-onna.livejournal.com/ ) which is more personal than the professional one you have linked here.

Nope, not limiting at all - but do have to get back to finishing out this list - I'll make a point to schedule some time with it later today.

Stacia Kane. I love her! She's totally Team Reader and she writes some seriously readable stuff. I looked up and I was 200+ pages in. One sitting.

I've added everyone on both lists so as of now this is "up to date." I'll keep tabs on it and update the master list as more come in.

Thanks everyone for your contributions to the list.

Could you add me? I have five books out (YA) and two out with Harlequin.

Come for the pink butterflies; stay for the cool posts. :)

As a moderator, let me be clear. This is a spot that was created out of users sharing blogs of authors they found interesting and why or why not. Michael took initiative to collect them in one place.

I apologize for any misunderstanding, but this is NOT intended as a spot to promote one's own works or own blog. There is a spot to list one's own works (and blogs if you like) under Self-Promotion folder. This also applies to readers who may have their own blogs--many GR readers do.

So Carol do you want me to remove the ones that were requested by "self" people?

Right now, yes please, and then we'll go from there.

Done.

Does this list include only speculative fiction writers? If not, I'd suggest Jennifer Crusie's blog http://www.arghink.com. It's the best source of writing craft. She writes about her current project: building scenes, cutting, etc. She is witty and as interesting in her blog as she is in her novels.

I can co-sign on the Jenny Crusie blog...but I want to defer to someone else as she is a romance writer.

Works for me - Just added Jennifer.

This list ROCKS!
