ETA:
As this thread has grown beyond my expectations, I have decided to consolidate some of the recommended links to sources for Indie books that have been mentioned in this thread.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since it is hard for Indie authors to get the news out about their new books I thought I would try and help. I am sure if this is not appropriate the hall monitors will be along to down vote me. I am not scared. No that is not my knees knocking you hear, I think someone is at your door. Better go check it out right now. Are they gone? Okay good. Here are 4 of mine.

Noah K Mullette-Gillman has two new books. The Brontosaurus Pluto Society: Magic Makes You Strange and The Confessions of Zeuspater (The Brontosaurus Pluto Society) I think they were very good and have left reviews and it's getting awfully lonely being the only reviewer. Check them out and let me know if I suck at this reviewing stuff. The first one I read of Noah's was Luminous and Ominous and since I enjoyed that I read The White Hairs. I have left reviews for these also.

I also follow Jamie Wassermann he wrote Blood and Sunlight: A Maryland Vampire Story (and it is only 99cents through the month of August), which I hope some day he will continue. My fingers and toes are crossed in hope anyway and they are starting to cramp. Night of the Guppy - Book 1 of the Series: Sylvia Chesterton, Vampire Guppy Hunter, Night of the Guppy - Book 2 of the Series: Sylvia Chesterton, Vampire Guppy Hunterand book three in this series is free right now Blood and Hairballs - Book 3 Spinoff of the Series Night of the Guppy: Sylvia Chesterton, Vampire Guppy Hunter. The short stories are hilariously funny and a nice break between heavy or serious books. I have also left reviews for these books. Jamie is also close to releasing a new book named Holding Back the Day. I am anxiously awaiting its release.

Another author I follow is Edwin Stark he wrote Cuentos and Eco Station One both of which I really enjoyed and left reviews for. He also is getting ready to release a new book that is a continuation of one of the short stories he wrote, that I loved BTW, in Cuentos. I believe it will be called the Clayton Chronicles and I am very excited about this book.

Another great Indie author I adore is Christopher Bunn if you haven't read him you are missing a great adventure and epic battle between good and evil. The Hawk And His Boy (The Tormay Trilogy #1) The Shadow at the Gate (The Tormay Trilogy #2) and the just released The Wicked Day (The Tormay Trilogy #3) which I am reading right now. I have left reviews for the first two and plan on leaving one for the third when I am finished. These are excellent books and I highly recommend them.

Are there Indie authors you follow and anxiously await new books from? I have several more in my TBR list, but I am just one person and reading time is precious and short.

I am telling you, I have a new respect for Happy Reader Joyce right now!

It is hard to put in all the links and get the spacing right! Sorry about the lack of punctuation! I really need an editor.

ok i'll bite..
i enjoyed The Book, i am currently reading In the Blood (A genealogical crime mystery) im only on chapter 6 but i have enjoyed what ive read so far

: )

Oh I have The Book in my TBR, Is it good? I keep telling my self I need to read it, but then I am easily distracted. Have you read? The Muse of Edouard Manet (The Time Chronicles of Emily Porterfield) by M. Clifford, I really enjoyed it also.

no i havnt just "the book"...theres a few typos but yeah i did enjoy it, i thought the idea was great especially since i was reading it on a kindle...i plan on re-reading it actually and not many books go into the re-read pile
*goes off to look at the other book*

: )

sigh, oh great ANOTHER book to add to my wish list, The Muse of Edouard Manet (The Time Chronicles of Emily Porterfield) looks great, and a totally different theme then The Book,

; )

I really enjoyed it! I can't remember if I reviewed it or not. I am trying to do that more, but I am not sure I have any skill at it.

you reviewed it, im not very good at reviews but i try,
i dont analyze the plots or characters to me if i enjoyed it and it made me think, its a great book, if i enjoyed it but didnt have to think its a decent book but i prefer the books that make me think especially when i get those AHA moments

: )

I read to escape into another world. I just want to enjoy the story and leave my world behind for a while.

oh GOD YES, the best books make you forget where you are

: D
i totally agree

I read a whole lot more since I got my Kindle! It was the best gift my DH ever bought! And I know at times he wonders why he ever did! LOL

Anything by J.A. Konrath AKA Jack Kilborn and Blake Crouch is excellent. They also have several books they have written together.
Among their best are
SERIAL KILLERS UNCUT - The Complete Psycho Thriller (The Complete Epic)
Afraid
Trapped (A Novel of Terror)
Origin
DESERT PLACES: A Novel of Terror (Andrew Z. Thomas Thriller)

I have Serial Killers and I haven't had the nerve to read it! LOL I also have Origin in my TBR pile one day I will get to them all right?

I have to admit I am a bit of a scaredy cat!

You sure know how to pick em ?wazi!!! Put me down for all four!

Can we add Elkay to the list? That's William L.K. to any searchers O.o The Voice & The Eye of the Storm (The Stritonoly Chronicles).

She's amazing!!!

Hey judester! Those are also in my TBR list! I am soooo far behind! I really want to read those too!

I am telling you "A WHOLE NEW RESPECT!" LOL

; )
i havnt read a DTB since i bought mine
had to rebuy books so i could read them on my kindle

Another great read is PORTAL (Portal Chronicles) series. This one I was able to let my daughter read which is so much fun when you can share a book that way! Imogen Rose is truely connected with the likes/happenings of the youth and makes it fun to follow along.

SERIAL KILLERS UNCUT - The Complete Psycho Thriller (The Complete Epic), hmmm, great another book i HAVE to read, im going to have to stop coming into this forum, lol, my wish list is pages long

LOL! I did buy Kindle versions of Diana Gabaldons Outlander series! They are so much easier to carry and I can make the fonts larger! Oh YEAH!

As soon as I post, I think of another. I'll add one more then let someone else chime in.

How I Learned to Love the Walrus (an Arctic Romantic Comedy) and Romantically Challenged are great reads!

I totally agree!

It really can be deadly to the CC! LOL
