I thought I recognized some influence from one of my favorite writers - The Grand Dame of Fantasy and SF Andre Norton :-) Ms Norton and Isaac Asimov started me on this fascinating road though I've read and enjoyed many, many authors - Lackey, Moorcock, Garwood, Lindsey et al.

T...Ah, Linda, we are apparently kindred spirits! :}<br />That's a good question, and I sure have a lot of writers who influenced me. My first fantasy reads were fairytales when I was younger. Then my DH introduced me to Michael Moorcock, and I was blown away by the wonder he created with the worlds he built. I'm still reading romance right alongside, of course, and flipping back and forth between the two. So authors like Julie Garwood, Johanna Lindsey, Andre Norton, and Mercedes Lackey are all combining in my head. And when I couldn't find that mix on the bookstore shelves, I started writing my own stories. Not that I'm in their league, but these are the authors that inspired me. :}<br />And I am very glad to be here!Author Kathryne Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206690509533777067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-27052916057960718572010-07-05T22:01:21.194+07:002010-07-05T22:01:21.194+07:00Wow, Kathryne I love how you did your research!

So it was a gradual thing for me to move from fantasy/SF to romance to a combination of the two.<br /><br />If I'd read The Fire Lord's Lover way back then, the change would have been much faster :-)<br /><br />While I've got you here, who were the writers that most influenced you as a reader and writer?<br /><br />And thanks for being with us!Lynda K.
