Manda Anne Bishop Rocks I just found here but she Rocks!  I said her work reminded me of patricia briggs stuff then I found out they are touring together and going to be in Fenton, Missouri in March and that's not too awful long from where I live so I just might go!

seriously??  that is *awesome*.  i recently finished an Anne Bishop rereading binge.  i could use an excuse to reread the Charles & Anna books before the next one comes out.  which might just lead to a Mercy binge...

I have last two Mercy books on my TBR to read! February seems like a good time for that!!!!!!!!

I'm staying too and have already pre-paid my membership.  Already planning and plotting to fill the 500 w/l spaces.  Woo Hoo!  I'm sending out lots of friends requests to strengthen my contact to those pbs members who read the same genres I do and I'm committed to doing my share to help PBS continue to be successful.  I read paranormals and smexy books.  Feel free to friend me too!  

I have no problem with the fees. I'm shocked that the site has remained free for this long!  But over the last year or two I've moved to 99% e-books.  Much as I love technology, I never expected that.  It's been months and months since I've even set foot in a bookstore - previously a weekly, if not daily, event!

This last year, I still enjoyed the forums (especially this thread) and swapped the rare book.  But I've barely been on the site for the last 6 months, so it doesn't make much sense to continue on for a fee if I don't plan to swap books.

Patricia Briggs is one of my favorites. I can't wait for Dead Heat to come out March 3rd. I've already read everything she's published.

Enjoy your reading!

Yes Ellen I would not lie about something so Awesome  here is the list I found Its only listing march so maybe its only those few dates who knows!

I have the Second book in the Anne Bishop Others Series Now!  And I'm caught up on the Mercy Thompson series and I preordered Dead Heat and so ready for that.  I've skipped the Raven duology, Hurog, and Steal the Dragon & When Demons Walk in her Sianim series though.  I may go back and read them sometime, just not now.

Nalini Singh (Psy Changeling and Guild Hunters Series)

Vicki Pettersson (Signs of the Zodiac)

Jaye Wells (Prospero) 

The others you mentioned (Anne Bishop!) are good too!

Jennifer Estep

Nalini Singh

Eve Langlais

+1 to quite a few mentioned above, and adding:

Kim Harrison

I really loved the two Hurog dragon books by Patty Briggs. They now top my comfort read lists. More traditional fantasy than UF. 

Ilona Andrews! Love her Kate Daniels series.

Emily I like fantasy as well as I like Urban Fantasy, mostly though anything I've gotten as regular fantasy ends up being a door stopper.  And I tended toward epic for a while but while I love some of the elements of them but they just are so dang long most of the time.  As a rule I generally love Terry Brooks but it takes me forever to finish one of his books.  Since you said the Hurog books are good though I'll probably pick them up soon.  I loved the Sianim ones I read.  I just haven't gotten around to reading the last two. 

The Hurog books have quite a bit of mud and reality. A large dose of family dysfunction. 

adding to the mix -authors I try to follow-

then must go break out my Patricia Briggs books to reread before next  one in the series comes out

Shelly Laurenston

Thanks ladies for the Anne Bishop recommend, that first book was wonderful and I can't wait to get the next one in the series.

Keri - based on the recommedations here I read all of them WOW what a great series!!!

I second so many of the recommendations above, but I can't believe no one has mentioned Kresley Cole. Her Immortals After Dark Series is one of my all time faves. Check her out and happy reading to you.
