Partick Rothfuss
Jim Butcher
Brian Sanderson
L.E Modesitt
W.E.B Griffin
Guy Gavriel Kay
John Grisham
R.A Salvatore
Naomi Novik
Read all the Star Wars books until New Jedi Order
Michael J Sullivan

Stephen R. Donaldson, particularly the Thomas Covenant series

I'd recommend Robin Hobb's Farseer series

I tend to read series, so here are a few....

Christopher Stasheff: Wizard in Rhyme series; Warlock of Gramarye series; Starship Troopers series
Orson Scott Card: Ender Series
Lois McMaster Bujold: Miles Vorkosigan Series
Douglas Adams: Hitchhiker series
Kevin Hearne: Iron Druid Series (I thought this was most like Jim Butcher's Dresden series)

Anything by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I suspect Stephen R Donaldson's Gap series would be right up your alley.

Thanks for the recommendations. Will give them a look.

How about Intwine series by Christina Moss(its a sci-fiction romance novel)

Have you ever read John Varley's Gaea Trilogy (Titan, Wizard, and Demon)? These were published right around the early '80s and blend sci-fi space exploration and giant space habitats with fantasy elements of mythical-like creatures. Thrown in the mix are plenty of movie references and a couple of minor battle scenes.

On a diffrent track - you mention John Grisham - therefore try - Steve Martini or Philip Margolin

you can read, Hans Christian Anderson's Fairy Tales.. these are awesomest Stories, I've ever read.

Have you tried Philip José Farmer - he has a very wide range in syfi
