I've only just discovered Martina Cole but already she's an author that's left an impression upon me. As soon as I spot her name in the local book shop I'm all over that book like nobody's business.

Although I do love her I've noticed she tends to over describe her characters traits, which often leads to me just skimming over lots of paragraphs.
