This index lists every author in the catalog, 122 in all, in alphabetical order by surname, with the genre where each one is filed and a link to the author’s page, where the full list of books and series begins.

What an Author Page Contains

Each author page follows the same plan. It opens with a short profile limited to the part of the author’s career that explains the books, then describes the kind of novels he or she writes and why they belong in that genre, with a comparison to a neighboring writer. At its center is the complete list of books in publication order, with series and year, followed by links to the reading order of each series, a reasoned suggestion of where to start, the latest book and the next one announced, when a publisher has confirmed it with a date, and a few frequently asked questions.

An author page does not contain details of private life, synopses or back-cover copy from publishers, book covers, star ratings or user reviews, or guesses about books that have not been announced. Authors who write under a pen name appear only under the name printed on their covers, and writing partnerships appear under the joint name the books carry.

How Authors Enter the Catalog

An author is admitted when at least one title has been published in English in the United States or the United Kingdom and that publication can be verified on a publisher source, and when the work falls within one of the eleven genres of the archive. Where a book exists in a British edition but no American edition has been confirmed, its entry says so instead of inventing one.

Each author is filed under a single genre, the one that best describes the body of work as a whole, and all of the author’s series follow. Readers who are looking for a character rather than a writer will find it faster in the reading order index, and the real units, agencies and history behind the novels are covered on the blog.
