Want a list? I'm a former publishers agent.

You might like the works of Harry Turtledove, he'll have a whole section there!

I was going to suggest... but you've probably already done Tolkien.

I'd have to look it up, but she's infamous regarding her dragon books, but i'd have to look on another pc to look it up on my bookfind database.

I'll look it up tomorrow and email you.

Right, i did it especially before i went to bed!

Here's a link to the ladies website.

It's Anne McCaffrey, and the book i was thinking of was "The Diversity of Dragons".......

Here's a link so you know what to look for!

http://annemccaffrey.net/index.php?page_id=31&bid=56

The book is A3 in size, and very colourful..though sadly i don't even have a single one to sell you.(Joke)

laugh

Mercedys Lackey writes some real good fantasy. The Hearalds series is great. And she has a fairy godmother series going now that is good

If you like Brooks, try Stephen Donaldson's "Thomas Covenant" trilogys. Other great fantasy authors:

Dennis McKiern
Terry Goodkind
Robert Jordan
Tad Williams

Some of the best, in my opinion. Have fun!!
