I worded it poorly, but I meant new ones I hadn't read. I think the only author in the Free Library that I had read previously was Andre Norton. I'd never read anything by Roberta Gellis or Keith Laumer and really like both. Mercedes Lackey is potluck; her stuff is either really good or I can't get into it. She's probably the big winner for me since I've bought several of her series, but I wish she wrote more SF. I like a smattering of Eric Flint's books (I love
Mother of Demons and the first few in the
1632 series) and I like David Weber's
Oath of Swords, but not his SF. I loved Chris Dolley's
Resonance, but he unfortunately hasn't written much else.
I've tried a few John Ringo and David Drake titles and just don't enjoy them (military tactics
ad nauseum, but shallow plot and character development). I suppose if I did enjoy those, though, it would completely flip Baen's ratio for me.
