Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy series that you might like. The first title in the series is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you like Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter type books, this is one you'll enjoy.
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY (eBook and hard cover)
THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.

You might also try Inkheart and Inkspell by Cornelia Funke. It's a series that is not yet completed. I also really like The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan but they are VERY long and complicated. There is one more left in the series that hasn't been released yet but it's supposed to be the last one.

Read the Inheritance Trilogy by Chris Paolini. I'm not sure if his last name is spelled correctly. The first book is Eragon and the second one is called Eldest. The third is scheduled to be released next year. They are very good; try them out!

Read the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. The first book, The Gunslinger, is short and a little confusing, but by the time you finish the second one youll be hooked.

oh my..
and no ones even metioned Terry Goodkind
the Wizards first rule is the begining of a very long series (10 books so far - only one more left to be written)
and well worth it -
If youve ever heard of Ann Rand.. Terry's books are kinda based on her philosophy, but not completely. i think he has a better understanding of the world than she.

I would suggest Strings of Connection by, well, me Durk Simmons. Some that read it compared it to Harry Potter. I think you'll enjoy it ! Here's the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1425939392/ref=pd_rvi_gw_1/104-4496738-2691139?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155
