Heh. All those books and not enough time. So I say Carol Berg because she's good. Robin Hobb--good and huge in the field. There's the obvious biggies like GRRM. This is the fantasy book critic: http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/ And he's got links to other review sites.
Personally I settle on what I like and just go there. Lately that's been epic fantasy and urban fantasy. I like Ilona Andrews' Magic Bites, Patty Brigg's Mercy series, Anne Bishop (The Black Jewels are my favorite, but be warned, the first one is dark and disturbing in its violence--the second two make up for it in a HUGE way with great characters and good winning over evil as it should be). I like Sharon Lee and Steve Miller's stuff. Lois Bujold. Kate Elliot. Robin McKinley's Sunshine is good too.
I've got lots more ideas of course.
As for Denvention . . . the trouble is Tony may be going back to work by then , in which case I'll be child-watching and may not be able to get there. Plus SpoCon is going to happen about then. I'm going to try to get to RadCon in February. Looks like huge fun.
All right, must go be productive. Oh, some more review sites I like:
