There's a number of amazing indie authors to check out. First, I'd recommend Chip Davis. He's got two books out and is in an anthology of short stories. Trail of the Raven, Haiti is YA and covers topics like philanthropy and the history of Haiti, just to name a few. It has memorable, lovable characters and my mom and I still quote the book occasionally. His other book, Squirrel Bait, can only be compared to a really bad b-horror movie. It is brilliant and hilarious (and a bit gory) about were-squirrels who protect a library.

I also suggest checking out Little Glass Men by Conor Walsh. It is historical fiction and follows individuals in a WWI sanitorium. He weaves the history so seemlessly into the story, and I enjoy that you get so many different perspectives on WWI, from both soldier's perspectives, as well as from the nurse's perspective. It gives a more full view of the war. And, the characters are so real and three-dimensional.

Evangeline Duran Fuentes is another phenomenal one to check out! Her most recent book is called Finding Erin and it's fiction based on her real experience. It covers topics like memory loss and family and is one of my favorites. Evangeline Duran Fuentes is a natural born story teller.

What genres do you prefer? Annie Bellet is a great author! Her Twenty-Sided Sorceress Series is great :) it's based on Dungeons and Dragons though, so having played the game helps. I like to geek out over all of her references.

What types do you incline toward? Annie Bellet is an incredible creator! Her Twenty-Sided Sorceress Series is incredible :) it depends on Dungeons and Dragons however, so having played the amusement makes a difference. I like to nerd out over every last bit of her references.

If you like dark romances with a horror fairytale twist, I've been getting into Lani Lenore lately. Not all of her books hit the right spot, but I really enjoyed her Nevermor trilogy (based on Peter Pan) and Needle's Eye. If you try out Nevermor, it was originally a dark sequel to Peter Pan. However, she had a few plot bunnies and decided to expand the universe into its own universe. The back of the deluxe edition of Forsaken Dreamscape (the second book) has a copy of the original sequel she wrote to Peter Pan.

Also I enjoyed The Hallowed and Roses and Black Glass: A Dark Cinderella Tale.

She's relatively unknown, surprisingly, but I've gotten sucked into quite a few of her dark fairytale stories.

I feel like I read indie authors without knowing it so I would have to do some research before I can answer you properly.

I recommend Boris Sanders to all readers who enjoy sci-fi thrillers. He is a gifted indie writer and keeps you turning the page.
