I started a Authors Discovered series blog of authors (mainly indie authors but there will be main stream authors weaved in within these blogs forthcoming as well) that I have discovered on my reading journey from the last few years. Mainly they are within a 5 to 10 year reading span.
The more books I read by these authors then I will come back in here to update the blogs.
So here is my first series blog of "Authors I Have Discovered" and the authors are listed in no particular order:

Great writing style - the author is able to pull the reader into his world quickly and usually between the first to third chapter you are basically tied into the book! With this revision I have read quite a few more books. It seems I have been on a "Haynes" kick for the last year and a half! LOL 😃 I still have a few more to read by him till I am caught up though. I think around five more books are on my kindle that I need to read yet.

This author is writing an urban fantasy vampire series that rocks along on a high speed train full of so much action that you will think you have landed in the midst of a movie! This series is loaded with all kinds of characters and lots of weapons! There is tons of different things happening within this series! None of the books are stand alone - they must be read in order to achieve the full story of the series. Once you enter the world of this author you better strap yourself in as there will be no exit till the end of the series! :-) Note: The order of the books is listed below. The newest revision for this author is that I have read his newest book in the series which is The Key of Ahknaton. This series is still a work in progress and there is one more book left to be written which will be the finale of the series.

If you feel the need to "walk on the wild side" this is an author to read for that extreme adventure. This author will build up the storyline drawing you further into her world with every turn of the page to the point where once you are into the story there is no turning back - you must plunge on to the end of the book! Now she does have some stand alone books, but she also has a couple of series, so the series needs to be read in order to understand the storylines.

This author can grab you from the beginning of the book too and will shoot you forward into the storyline of the books. Storylines and characters will draw you in quickly. Once you start reading his books it will be hard to put them down! With the newest revision of this blog I have read three more of his books. I have a handful left to read that is simmering on my kindle.

This author writes haunting/supernatural books that will give you thrills and chills! The writing style is top notch and draws the reader in quickly usually before chapter three. The author started a haunted series last year which is still a work in progress. Just a note: The book Inside Perron Manor is a prequel but does not need to be read before the series of books. I did read the prequel though before reading the first book in the Haunted series as I wanted to read the background on the manor before I jumped into the series. I have a couple more books to read by this author and then I will be caught up. 😁

Another "walk on the wild side" type of author! I consider him to be the "King of Extreme" as there are "extreme" levels he will take you to that you have never been before! If you like your action mixed with blood, gore, and other "interesting things" then by all means check out his work! I have not read a lot by him, but I have lots of his books simmering on my kindle. 😁

A couple of them were free so I grabbed them back in 2015 and then checked out her other work. So far I have read four books by her, but I have three more simmering on my kindle that I need to read by her yet.
