Can you recommend an author...
One of my all time favorite SciFi writers is Andre Norton. Who among current Scifi writers do you recommend that I try out...

I always recommend David Weber. He has several titles in Baen's Free Library, so you can try before you buy.

I can't agree with you, I'm afraid.

Did you check out http://www.literature-map.com? It puts Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey and Marion Zimmer Bradley close to him.

Whether these are correct or not, I know not.

Is anyone can direct him to the link for the TOR freebie, Four and Twenty, this might be of interest. Like Norton, it is easily digestible with enough creepiness to make it fun.

Just wanted to let you know.

HarryT just put up a bunch of H Beam Piper books. I have always felt that they were similar in their story structure and ways of telling a tale.

It's alright, Bob

Andre chose that name intentionally as her pen name because she knew guys got further in sci-fi at the time than women, so she went with something of a dubious naming.

Unfortunately, she's no longer with us, which is a shame. I got to meet her and her caretaker when they lived right behind the drug store I worked at when I was going through college. She was awesome, and somewhere, I still have a few of her books autographed.
