I recently watched all of The Dresden Files, and now I really want the books. When I have money again I plan on picking up the first few.

I understand about not reading many female authors. There just isn't the selection, and some of those that are out there speak quite poorly for the potential of female authors. (Laurell K. Hamilton has gotten so disgustingly horrible that she has soured the reputation of all of us female urban fantasy authors.)

Patricia Briggs is definitely worth checking out though. And she is still at the stage where all of her books are coming out initially in paperback. Her main character is a tough as nails mechanic who shapeshifts into a fox and looks like a suicide girl (whoah, awesome chest piece and full sleeves.) Another character is a vampire who has a vw van painted as the Mystery Machine. Her books are... grittier, or dirtier, than most female authors out there. They also aren't full of erotica/poorly written sex like most female authors. They actually don't really have any.

Laurell? Worst written sex I have ever read. Worse than a harlequin romance novel. It makes me want to puke.
