Favorite wishes

OK, things I would wish for ....hmmm, I'd say it would have to be what was
expressed at one of my favorite authors blogs I visited today. (Nina Bangs) I would wish
for a site that caters to fellow fans and authors who write and read paranormal
romances. I enjoy paranormal, which I think can include, time travel, Sci-Fi romance, djinni, Vamps, Werewolves, the fae, ancient gods and goddesses and I hope if anyone EVER finds their way to this blog, they'd add any I was missing . *grin* I believe they are coming into their own but as yet, there are not too many places to share a common enthusiasm. I know that of my family and friends, I'm the only one who reads books by these authors, so I don't have anyone to share my likes, dislikes, excitement or disgust (as when something happens to a character that you felt should have gone differently)

So, today, if I had a wish, these are the authors that I would love to have a discussion group address:
The first one I ever read was The Selkie so this author goes at the top of the list because,
for me, she started it all. And the list goes in order by whom I read, not alpha

Whew is that enough or what??? If there was a message board that dealt with all these authors and their many books they've written, not to mention the ones we are looking forward to, that's enough conversation material to last for the next 6 months! at least.
So, that is my wish list ... Now if only there WAS a discussion group out there that knows most of these authors, like Tigger says ...."fun,fun, fun,fun TTFN!!!!!

I Tried a Book Out of My Comfort Zone
