I'm not familiar with the other names on your list. Except perhaps Robert Jordan. Isn't he the protagonist in For Whom The Bell Tolls?
Same name, different fellow. Hemmingway's Robert Jordan was from Montana, where he was a professor of Spanish while the author Jordan was born in South Carolina, and held a degree in Physics. Probably some other more important differences...

Jordan the author has written under several different names in several different genres. So far I've only had time to explore the first of the "Wheel of Time" series. Very good writer although this is not one of my favorite genres.

But... if you enjoyed Connelly, please do take a look at Ian Rankin and his Inspector Rebus series. Try to start with book #1 if you can. Just a shade darker than Connelly, but even more engrossing!
