Mercedes R Lackey recommends

Bones of the Past (1993) (Faia, book 2) Holly Lisle "(The) entrancing characters . . . will hold you spellbound."	Diplomacy of Wolves (1998) (Secret Texts, book 1) Holly Lisle "Full of imagination, subterfuge, terror, and surprise..."	The Otherworld (2000) Mercedes Lackey, Holly Lisle and Mark Shepherd "One of the hottest writers I've come across in a long time."
The Wreck of Heaven (2003) (World Gates, book 2) Holly Lisle "Holly Lisle's work has grown beyond my wildest expectations."	Dead Easy (2007) (Chris Csejthe, book 4) Wm Mark Simmons ". . . manages to combine enough wacky hilarity to satisfy a Terry Pratchett fan, and a plethora of puns guaranteed to make a Piers Anthony buff groan. . . . Mark might even have created himself a new genre-cybercafe."
