I asked to the panelists to mention a few people they read that are more mainstream to give people and idea wher they are coming from. The panel was lots of fun with some great names mentioned. Due to time we each only got to mention a few, but w may be adding some we didn't have time for.
My list is as follows:
George C Chesbro
Walter Satterthwait
Denise Swanson
Sue Dunlop
Adam Hall
Pete Hautman
Max Allan Collins
Richard Barre
Of course on any given day I could probably rattle off a bunch more, but these are the people I wrote down for the panel.
More to come....

It certainly would be nice if Mr. Barre would write another book! I want Wil Hardesty to return to the printed page!!!!!
Richard Barre is one of my favorite writers. I'm with you. More Wil Hardesty!
Call me crazy, but I find your list of mainstream writers puzzling. Unless you mean something I don't understand, by mainstream. Could you give a definition of that word, please?
