I was at the bookstore yesterday, looking through the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section and trying desperately to choose a new author to start reading. I have never had such a difficult time picking a book before. So I am hoping to get some ideas for authors in this genre that I haven't read, but really should. I'll give you an idea of some of the authors I have read. And I don't care if they are series or stand-alone. Although I read a lot of series books. Thanks for helping me!

Ok....I have read: Anne McCaffrey, Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, George RR Martin, Elizabeth Haydon, Jennifer Fallon, and Brandon Sanderson.
