How Many Authors Can You Name?

by Susan Sigler, guest blogger

Do you think you know your romance authors? eg (evil grin) I’m going to have you crossing genres, throwing TBR books in the air and calling all your friends. You will learn to curse in 5 languages while googling authors. Kindles will be recharged from overuse and let’s talk a little about your librarian. Remember the elderly lady with the kind eyes and the friendly disposition? The one who wears the thick glasses with the pretty chain, yes her. Well from now on Ms. Merryweather will run from you whispering something a lot like, “Oh no, she’s back again. That’s 7 times since 9:00 a.m.” After all, there’s only so many questions the poor woman can answer.

Well let’s get started so our librarian can stop hiding behind the shelves. Many of you will recognize these 20 authors, others will learn about them for the 1^st time. I’ll be giving away 2 books. The person with the highest number of correct answers will win Nora Roberts' Captivated & Entranced or Gena Showalter’s Catch a Mate. All I need are the author names; you don’t have to know the titles. Good Luck!

Author #1NYT bestselling author. When I visit her website I open a diet coke, flip through her books and look at her beautiful gazebo.

Author #2 If you visit her website will you dare to return? She writes contemporary romance.

Author #3 She gave us a love triangle like I’ve never read before; even I was torn.
