It's a toss-up between three. Orson Scott Card, Dave Farland, and Diann Thornley Read. That's for first. Donna King Weaver comes in an extremely close second. I love all kinds of LDS writers. I think it's spectacular how much creative talent we have. You GO, Ladies!

That is a tough question. I think it would be Courting Miss Lancaster by Sarah Eden, or Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson, but then again, My Loving Vigil Keeping by Carla Kelly has left a lasting impression. :)
ReplyDeleteHB Moore is my favorite LDS author (Shannon Hale comes in second). Right now, the whole Out of Jerusalem series is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOh good heavens, there's so many! I recently read Blackmoore by Julianne Donaldson. It was INCREDIBLE!! Loving this blog hop!!

ReplyDelete"Goose Girl" by Shannon Hale
ReplyDeleteI had no idea so many authors I loved were LDS! I was going to say Kiersten White until I saw Rick Riordan on the Deseret site, and I did a search online, but couldn't find out if he was or wasn't LDS. But if he is, definitely, him!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite would be Entwined by Heather Dixon. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy very favorite is Janette Rallison, especially when she writes as Sierra St. James!
ReplyDeleteso many but wings of faith President
