Hi, Jamie, the first book I ever read by Linda Howard is Shades of Twilight. I liked it so much I started reading any book I could get by her. Her characters are not cardboard cut-outs. If you like books without sex, you might not like her. I like the storytelling so put up with the sex. One thing though, she doesn't go into much purple prose, overuse of adverbs, that sort of thing.

She has quite a few different series. Which one do you recommend? -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Miss Julia Strikes Back by Ann B.
