One of my favorite authors is [tag]Janet Evanovich[/tag]. She writes the Stephanie Plum series of books. Janet has won many awards for her writing including major [tag]crime[/tag][tag] fiction[/tag] awards. She actually began writing under the name Steffie Hall and wrote short contemporary romance novels. She gained fame when she started writing the Stephanie Plum series. I can see why! The books are great.
