List of Active Pen Names: R.J. Blain, Susan Copperfield, Bernadette Franklin, Audrey Greene, G.P. Robbins, Lilith Daniels
Upcoming Pen Name: Leanne Hearst
Greetings! Here is your one-stop shop to learn about the various pen names of R.J. Blain. Why pen names? It’s simple. R.J. is prolific, and people become confused about the various series. The Furred & Frond Management has lost count of the number of times that people have assumed that the Booked for Murder characters live in the Magical Romantic Comedy world. (This is not the case.)
Please note that the count for the books in the series is planned books. Many series are in progress, and this is done to indicate potential series length.
The following list may be incomplete. The author’s memory is a sieve, and it leaks.
Please note that all books are fade to black or milder. You will not be finding spicy spice here.
R.J. Blain (Grab Bag, anything goes)
This is R.J.’s grab bag name. If it’s speculative fiction of some sort, you’ll probably find it here. Mistakes have been made, as there is often confusion about which worlds exist. Here is a very brief breakdown of the worlds R.J. is writing currently along with the expected total of books in the series .
* indicates the series is yet to be written.
^ indicates the series is completed or is a completed standalone with no expectation of a continuation with those characters.
Any series without a symbol has at least one book written with more on the way or at least one title is available for preorder.
All links lead to Amazon series pages or the book’s title. Unless I say otherwise, the correct reading order for each series is what is on the Amazon series page. (Please do not use fan-based lists, such as what is on Goodreads. It is inaccurate if it is not identical to what is on the Amazon series page.)
