I'd add Tamora Pierce to the list (YA fantasy, mostly female protagonists). She was a guest at Darkover last year and is coming back this year.

Yes. I only left her out because she's YA. I love almost all her books. She's coming back to Darkover? HURRAY!
I'm re-reading SQUIRE now. :) There's an analogy in that series for me that I'm not sure I'm ready to re-face. :)
