tammypierce :)

Ooh, awesome. Thanks :)

Writers of what?

Published writers, pretty much.

Ok. Thank you for clarifying :)

Sure, np. :)

What kind of writers?

Published ones.

Tanya Huff: http://andpuff.livejournal.com/

Awesome. XD

bec_fitzpatrick - Becca Fitzpatrick, author of the YA Hush, Hush novels.

blackholly - Holly Black

cassandraclare - Cassandra Clare.

Awesome, thanks for those! :)

This is going to kill my cut and paste abilities, and I'm only listing the ones I quickly see on my f-list of whom many are UK writers; there are dozens of others. If you go to kaz_mahoney's LJ you'll find loads of novelists on her profile, also probably on Jo Knowles because she runs a famous Young Adult writing activity every autumn.

Sorry, I ran out of tag-fu...

Wow, that list is amazing! I've not heard of a lot of them. Will have to track them down. Thanks. :)

Also, I recently finished "Someone to Watch Over Me". Very thought-provoking and muchly enjoyable. ♥

Many thanks!

Looking at your tastes I'd def recommend popping round Kaz mahoney's LJ and going through her f-list. You'll find lots of YA/urban fantasy stars there

Marianne de Pierres and one of yours are the only I've read from the above, so I'm not sure the above list is a hugely accurate portrayal of my reading tastes (http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1163915-meredith). I do however recognise a fair amount of names and have a good number in my book depository (http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/) wishlist (and have added a fair few more from those you suggested; thanks again!).

I shall check out Kaz Mahoney's LJ more thoroughly tomorrow. Iron Witch sounds pretty good, and Buffy and Vampire Diaries mentions in the first few pgs of entries is a definite plus too. :)

Christine Morgan - http://sabledrake.livejournal.com/

You probably won't know of her, but she used to write some insanely AWESOME Gargoyles fanfic back in the day, and turned to writing fantasy and such novels afterward. I actually have a signed copy of her first novel :)

Nope, haven't heard of her. Shall add her nowish.

Btw you have Gargoyles in common with Zach (

solaris242). JSYK. Not sure it's that big a fandom?

watchmebe is Jackson Pearce but she decided mid last year only to cross post videos from her website, so she's not really *there*.

Okays, awesome. Thanks!

I never even thought that they might be on lj haha! Sadly i only know 2 of them on your list :p

I thought a few might be, but I had no idea there'd be this many! I knew of 3 authors on LJ til making this post. :P

Which two?

Well now that you added more to the list I know a few authors. but yeah, i didnt know they were on lj. It's kinda ~weird :p

Hehe, true. I still don't know many of them. :)
Weird and very very awesome.

halseanderson Laurie Halse Anderson, author of Speak.

Awesome, thanks!

Lynn Flewelling is at

otterdance, and my good friend Sean Kennedy is at

kennsea :D!
