Wow this is so hard to choose from.
I picked Jocelynn Drake and Karen Marie Moning.
I love Jeaniene Frose and Karen Chance and Christine Feehan as well. There are just too many to choose from. I feel like I’m betraying all my favorite authors by only picking two
For next week I pick
Jessica Andersen
Christina Dodd
MaryJanice Davidson
Alyssa Day
Anne Rice
Rough going having to choose only two. I chose Patricia Briggs & Karen Marie Moning. The Mercy Thompson series is so compelling from the first chapter. Karen Marie Moning’s last work turned a series from great to EPIC.

Jenna Black
I’d include:
Richelle Mead
Claudia Gray

Hey Rachel,
It’s definitely a toughie to choose just two for the polls…
Here are a couple of authors who I think who’d be ideal for next week’s polls :
*Kari Thomas
*Shelley Munro
*Madelaine Montague
*Jenny Penn
*Moira Rogers
*Mandy M. Roth
*Kinsey Holley
*Vivi Andrews
*Michelle Marquis
*Vivian Arend
For the most part, these ladies are new to the scene but I think that they definitely should be recognized for their wonderful works.
Happy Reading!!!
Anna Shah Hoque

Oh god this round is soooooooooooo much more difficult. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many of my favorite authors!!! Agh! What a dilemma! Since there are soooooo many authors like 12-13 that I wanted to vote for I just went with some of my earlier ones that I started with and that was Kelley Armstrong and I guess a more recent Jeaniene Frost. This was by far the harder round to vote for. And I thought last week was bad!
Another toughie! I chose Kelley Armstrong and Christine Feehan.
Others I would choose are:
Marjorie M. Liu
Cassandra Clare
Melissa Marr
Lori Handeland
Stephenie Meyer
Melissa De La Cruz
Karen Marie Moning
Kresley Cole

You are really amping this up a notch this week, harder to pick only 2 because own multiple books by almost every author on the list….
I finally narrowed it down and chose the 2 who in the last year for me have stood out and captured my loyalty to their book series and they are Karen Marie Moning and Jeaniene Frost.
Do not have any other suggestions to add to your list that we all gave you as there are many good authors on it both current day and some who have wowed us for years….
this is fun and good luck to us all, swag is wonderful but reading how much others love books the way I do is even better…..
voted for Richelle Mead and Caitlin Kittridge
And for next week it should definietly have
p.c. cast for house of night series
l.j. smith for vampire diaries and night series
Wow you really are making it IMPOSSIBLE..lol. This one had 4 of my favs in it but I choose Nalini Singh and Jeaniene Frost.
My votes this week are for Kat Richardson and Jeanne C. Stein.
For next week I would like to recommend that we add Jennifer Rardin for her Jaz Parks series.
Richelle Mead & Jennifer Rardin.
They’re both amazing people.
Also, the only people who’s books I have that are signed by them.
(Okay, with JRardin it’s only **one** book, but still.. It’s personalized and I do live in AUS where nothing ever happens ((except for that time when RMead came down here…)) so to me it meant a lot!)
(: ♥
Mary Janice Davidson
Stephanie Meyer - the author who got me hooked on this stuff!
Jenna Black
Michelle Rowen
My votes went to KMM and Gena Showalter! So hard to pick only 2!
I would like to see Christine Feehan on the list. I love her work and Cherry Brooks.

For next week -
Candace Havens, Colleen Gleason, Dakota Cassidy, katie MacAlister, Larissa Ione, Christina Dodd, Nina Bangs, Tanya Huff, Stephanie Meyer, Lynn Viehl
Since the only author I recognized is Jennifer Rardin — she has my vote!
This week’s round was even more difficult decide on than the first round.

Stephanie Myers #1
Heather Brewer (my students LOVE her)
[...] 5, 2009 Bitten By Books is running a poll to decide the favorite paranormal author of 2009 — and I’ve been nominated! Go, [...]
So many great authors to choose from! Finally had to go with Lilith Saintcrow and Kelley Armstrong.

Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty series belies the stereotypical everything-works-out happy endings. Sometimes life isn’t fair, and neither is Kitty’s life. But enough good things work out for her to keep plugging on. Enough to remind us to watch for the good things in our lives and to keep plugging on.

I had to ditch SIX of my favorite authors this round! Too many faves in one poll, I say! But I did my paranormal fiction fan duty, and I voted.
As for next round…
Melissa Marr
Karen MacInerney

Alyssa Day

I vote for:
CARRIE VAUGHN — Her Kitty Norville series are in no way fluffy. Her character doesn’t have many physical strengths in comparison to her foes nor does she have any magical tallents. Her strengths come from the understanding of herself and her world that grows throughout the series. These books explore a truly amazing character development of a heroine with amazing and developing internal strength. PLEASE GIVE ALL MY TEN VOTES TO CARRIE VAUGHN!!!
CHARLAINE HARRIS (of the top two) — I like her Harper Connelly series. I’ve no idea why bookstores put this series in Mystery. I mean, Harper is finding dead people through the use of a paranormal power from being struck by lightning!
My oh my. So many to choose. My nominations would be Anne Rice, Larissa Ione, Shayla Black, and Jacquelyn Frank.
Dakota Cassidy - rocks!
Christine Warren - Graham is warm hunky fuzzies
Jessica Andersen - love those Mayans!!!
Pamela Palmer - Ferals - yummy!
Alyssa Day - Altantians Oh my!
Lori Handeland - love her Moon series and Chaos series
Jacquelyn Frank - sigh
Nina Bangs - I want a visit from Sparkle Stardust!!
Lora Leigh - Breeds - OMG!
Katie McAlister - Dragons!!
I chose Jeaniene Frost and Patricia Briggs for my votes. My choices for the next poll are:
Candace Havens
Cassandra Clare
M.L.N. Hanover
