I do not know any of the other authors but Sarah J. Maas writes Fantasy.
James Nichol will be delighted that women are being recognised with
twelve of the thirteen books being written by women.

Why? I'm somewhat of a rightist troll, and I draw fire from the left quite often, but I am in no way forced to read their replies, and I can focus on the interesting stuff if I feel like it. I find that the beauty of usenet. Sure, many people don't like my opinions, and I don't like the opinions of many other people, but at the end of the day... so what?
From time to time some of those people write interesting posts on other subjects which I do enjoy.
