About this list
Lauren Blakely leads on both counts, with 61 credited books and 13 series. Since each name opens an author page, you can see that writer's series in reading order.
19 of these authors write at least one series. The other 17 are known here for single books, which still have their own pages. In contrast to a plain name list, each page also shows the next announced book when one is known.
The three most credited authors here are Lauren Blakely (61), Laura Childs (55) and Lincoln Child (46). However, these counts include all credited roles, so they can run higher than the number of novels. Each page shows the credit behind the count.
The soonest announced book here is Queen of Lombard Street by Lisa Kleypas, dated 20 October 2026. Since publishers move dates, we recheck announced books weekly.
Some series change hands, and some writers share a series. When that happens, the page credits each writer by name. Credits come from public bibliographic and publisher records.
Each author page lists their series in reading order, followed by any single books. When a writer has an announced next book, the page says so. Because the list runs A to Z, the letter bar takes you to any other part of the alphabet. If you would rather search, the search box finds any author by name, and the genre shelves group series by theme.
