Hi,

I'm looking for authors or books which are along the same vein as LaVyrle Spencer.

Never heard of the author. What kind of things do they write?

She's a romance author, but that's all I know about her.

One thing to keep in mind about that Literature Map is that it doesn't understand what you like about an author. As an example, Mystic River by Dennis Lehane is one of my favorite books. I tried to use that website to find other authors like him. It showed me a bunch of male authors who write thrillers.

Thing is, what I really like about Lehane's writing is the depth he writes into his characters. His background in sociology shows in his writing. But the Literature Map just gave me back a bunch of thrillers.

So it might be helpful to know what it is about Spencer's books that you like? What makes her romance novels different from other authors you've read that makes you want to find other authors like her?

Another part of the gnod website http://www.gnooks.com/faves.php allows you to enter three of your favorite authors and after answering one question on how you like the site it will recommend some authors to you.

The best way to get usable recommendations is to pick authors that remind you of each other rather then picking three authors semi-randomly from your bookcases. My three favorite authors who write about the British Country Life gave better results than did my favorite non-fiction, science fiction and general fiction authors.
