It’s Top 10 Tuesday (hosted at The Broke and the Bookish) and the topic is:
Top Ten Authors Who Deserve More Recognition
Oh this is going to be an easy one. Or hard. Well, easy because I have SO many authors I can name, and hard because I can only name ten! Eek, okay – let’s do this!
So, without further ado…
Top Ten Authors Who Deserve More Recognition
Indie Authors
What would you do if the whole world read minds… Except you? This is how Susan’s first book in the Mindjacker series starts out. This is one of my favorite book series. The writing is excellent, the story is incredible, and it is a science fiction series with a kick ass female protagonist. Oh and the first book is FREE.
Ahh THIS GUY! I got Solitary free on Amazon when I first started reading e-books and forgot about it. Then one day, I picked it up and ended up reading the first two books straight through that weekend. From that day, I was one of those fans who waited (im)patiently to find out what would happen to Chris Buckley. Thrasher created this world of monsters under the bed and things that go bump in the night that seem so real, you’ll end up reading the books with the light on. Thrasher writes all kinds of amazing books, but this series in my favorite.
Ahh, well you readers who have been here awhile know about my obsession with Persephone & Hades. And Kaitlin has one awesome modern day retelling. She also blogs about mythology, which personally I love reading. This series is a combination of ancient myths and modern day romance. And she plans to write more stories based in myth, which I am quite excited about!
Those You *May* Have Heard of
I borrowed this book (Breaking Beautiful) on a whim from the library and it ended up being something I truly loved. Her next book is coming out this year, and I can.not.wait.
You’ve heard of Colleen Hoover right? Well, if you haven’t you live under a rock. But I think she will keep getting bigger and I’m just so excited to be in on the secret.

This series has my FAVORITE covers. And Incarnate had me sobbing in the first few chapters. But seriously, this story is magical and one of the best of 2013. I’m beyond excited for book three and hope that Jodi continues to blow up as an author!
I.love.this.series. I heard about Hourglass in my Twilight fan days. Book three comes out soon and the rights have been sold for a movie. Crossing my fingers, we’ll get to see Hourglass on the big screen, which will definitely be awesome! But Myra is a great author, this series is spectacular and this is one author I want to see get more recognition.
7. Beth Revis
Ahh another science fiction series. And this series is a great introduction into sci fi. The books have a lot of shocking twists and turns and Elder and Amy are such amazing characters. Although the book series is over, I know whatever Beth comes up with next will be awesome. If you don’t know her yet, you definitely should!
Just Arrived on the Scene
I JUST learned about Ghost Hand and I’m still raving about it. Ripley (which coolest name, huh?) has a great story, great writing, and an awesome book world that is unlike anything I’ve read before. The best part is both books (Ghost Hand and Ghost Hold) were funded by Kickstarter. Both books broke their goals, which helped fund the editing and cover fees. Trust me on this one – you will love this book! This is one author I can’t wait to see gain a bigger following than she already has!
10. J.A. Johannson
I found this creeptastic cover on Netgalley when I first joined. I kind of got spoiled because of how amazing the book is. J.R. is awesome and I know this book series is going to be on a lot of people’s radars. It just came out in June, so go buy your copy now!
So, that’s it. What about you? Who are some of your favorites?
