Thanks,
I haven't been keeping track, which one is the one he is working on?
And an even bigger Big Apocalyptic event then he has had already--a time or two? Wow.

But I also reject good writers because their type of UF isn't quite what I want. Patricis Briggs is one-I'm not sure if I put her on my list. I love her writing and story telling abilities but the Mercy books are to romantic sounding for me. Well, they might be more paranormal than UF. Sometimes they are very close to each other.

I'd say Patricia Briggs is UF. She has a decently sophisticated world with many different types of supernatural races. If you decided not to try her out because you thought the Mercy books were romance, I'd highly recommend giving them another look. I've always seen the romance plot for Mercy as being very much in the background. It's definitely overshadowed by the mystery and action/adventure plots.

If you decided not to try her out because you thought the Mercy books were romance, I'd highly recommend trying her out anyway.

Also really recommend those books. Lots of action.
Marie August:
If you don't like any sort of heavy romance in your UF, I would, however, avoid Patricia Briggs' Alpha Omega series. Those books definitely have a prominent romantic subplot.

Yep. And I like the Chr Mercy much better.
