Is there an author that is comparable to Nicholas Sparks?

I've read all of his books and need something to read while waiting for the next one to come out. Any ideas?

You might like Richard Paul Evans, Jan Karon, and/or Kahlil Gibran.

Nothing that bad or trite but I suggest Kathy Reichs, Jodie Picoult or Nevada Starr.
