I love Sharon Shinn's books, Archangel being my favorite. I also loved GGK's Tigana and The Lions of Al-Rassan. I read Novik's His Majesty's Dragon, enjoyed it and I have the other two subsequent books TBR. You might also enjoy Patricia Briggs. My favorite of hers is Dragon Blood. I'm currently reading and enjoying Michelle Sagara's Cast in Courtlight, sequel to Cast in Shadow.
Mysterywise, I've liked Margaret Maron's Deborah Knott series. Elizabeth Peters' Vicky Bliss series (when will she write another book in this series?) and if you can find it, Ellen Emerson White's ALL EMERGENCIES RING SUPER is a really fun read. (I also enjoy Jan Burke's Irene Kelly series but these books are definitely not cozies).
I don't generally read a lot of YA but I've liked Libba Bray's books (picked up the first based on the cover) and I recently enjoyed Sarah Dessen's Just Listen (contemporary, not fantasy setting).
