An author I can recommend.  I even own a copy of "The Tapestry Warriors"
in hardcover  I almost never buy hardcover (I buy too many books to afford
hardcovers), but it never came out in paperback.  She's done two series. 
The Torin series is an alien contact novel with a marooned human trying
to get back to his expedition in a early-technological world with
marsupial sapients. The alien culture and interactions between the two
cultures are well done.  The Rulers of Hylor series is a quite good
fantasy.  Each book is about the trials of the heir of a different
kingdom.  All three novels intertwine (the three protagonists are
cousins), with the brilliant military victory in one novel is told as a
stunning defeat in the next.  The different points of view, and the very
different personalities and goals of the three heroes combine to make more
than the separate stories.  Cherry Wilder has also written several good
short stories, I hope someone publishes a collection soon.
