LDS fiction writers

Marvelle posted this as a comment, but I thought it was worthwhile also posting on the regular page. If you are interested in LDS fiction writers, then this is for you!

"I did, however, want to post some info. on LDS fiction writers. The Deseret News (a while ago) listed the Whitney Award winners (awards for "outstanding novels by LDS authors". Here's the list of 2007 winners (I'm not sure 2008 have been announced yet):

Romance/women's: Counting Stars by Michele Paige Holmes

Mystery/suspense: Sheep's Clothing by Josi S. Kilpack

Young adult: Fablehaven 2: Rise of the Evening Star by Brandon Mull

Speculative: Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale

Historical Fiction: Out of Jerusalem: Land of Inheritance by Heather Moore

Best Book by a new Author: Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George

Novel of the Year: On the Road to Heaven by Coke Newell

I haven't read any of them so I can't make any recommendations but I know at one point you commented on LDS fiction so I thought this might be helpful."

Sorry I couldn't make it last night. We had a sick house. I am looking forward to next month though.
