Courtney,
This is perfect! A specific list of titles is exactly what we are looking for.
Eclectic is excellent.
I will share this with our Collection Development team to see if they can add
some or all of them.

Scott,
This is the list I've managed to assemble from my networks so far.
It's a highly eclectic list, but here goes..
Waking The Witch (Book 11 of The Otherworld Series) by Kelley Armstrong
Once Dead Twice Shy (Book 1 of the Madison Avery series) Kim Harrison
Unbound anthology from Harper Collins publishers (This antho includes
stories by Kim Harrison, Melissa Marr, Jeaniene Frost, Vicki Petterson
and Josceline Drake who are all popular authors in their own right.)
Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay
House Of Dead Maids by Clare B. Duncle
Paranormalcy by Kirsten White
Personal Demon by Lisa Desrochers
Darling Jim by Christian Moerk
Songs Of Love And Death edited by George R. R. Martin
Warriors edited by George R. R. Martin
I'm still collecting responses, so if you don't mind another list,
I'll have more tomorrow *smiles*
