I have some of the Kingsbury. But, for all I know, they may well already be on BookShare.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] authors I wanted you all to be aware of


Hi, I'm not necessarily doing this list of authors specifically for the wish
list, but if they found their way on any part of bookshare, my feelings
wouldn't be hurt.  Years ago, some people gave me a list of authors, some I
had never heard of, and some I had.  I plan on seeing if they all have
bookshare spots, but if not, maybe someday they will, and if anybody happens
to have anything by them laying around or has access to them, we wouldn't be
hurt for any additions to the bookshare family of books.  With that being
said, here comes a list of authors.  Please excuse any garbage characters or
repeats.

/Sandy Dingler or DAngler (wrote about Australia--would like to read this
author's stuff.

Looking at this list, I've read many of these authors, but many more I have
not.  I also like Terry Blackstock, whoever wrote the Kencade books based on
the Thomas Kencade paintings about a town in Massachusetts, Catherine
Cookson, Meg Cabot, Georgette Hayer, Agatha Christie, Tim and Beverly
Lahaye, Jerry B. Jenkins, Lois T. Henderson, as mentioned before Phyllis A.
Whitney and Mary Higgins Clark, Ann George, L. M. Montgomery, Jane Peart,
June Masters Bacher, Robin Lee Hatcher, and I am having more on the tip of
my tongue but I can't remember them right now, but even if you read from
places and organizations other than bookshare, I'd strongly recommend these
authors and ones like them as they came from a reliable recommender and/or I
read them myself.  Happy reading and have a blessed day.  PS:  Besides maybe
Michael Palmer and Hannah Alexander, can anybody recommend some good medical
fiction?  ER type stuff, hospital, doctor, nurse, anything.  Have a blessed
day.
