What new-to-you authors have you recently discovered? I asked that question on social media the other day, and now I’m sharing those answers with you. I chose to focus on authors I haven’t (yet) had on the podcast, hoping to highlight them and give them some much deserved recognition. Perhaps you recognize some of the names; perhaps others are ones you’ve never heard of before. Whatever the case, I hope you find another great author or two to read and follow. There are also quite a number of genres that are represented on today’s show.

Dawn Crandall: She has a wonderful series called “The Overtone Chronicles”, beginning with the book, The Reluctant Heiress. “”Romantic! Engaging and absorbing! Crandall brings America’s Gilded Age to life on the page with vintage amour and emotional depth. Poetically written, Crandall’s stories of faith and love will charm fans of classic literature and Christian fiction alike.”

Get your copy of The Reluctant Heiress.

Jennifer Q. Hunt: She’s out with a brand new book, Through Thorny Ways. With secrets dating back two generations, will Wisteria House unite or destroy an already-fractured family?

Renee Ryan: A listener says, “Renee is one I have recently read and hardly ever see mentioned here. Her book, The Widows of Champagne, was excellent, one I thoroughly enjoyed. I am looking forward to reading her latest, The Secret Society of Salzberg . In addition, the audiobook was really well done.” WWII fiction!

Get your copy of the first book in the “Sons of Shenandoah Series”, The Abolitionist’s Daughter.

Cindy K. Sproles: “Blood might be thicker than water, but love trumps both in Cindy K. Sproles’s touching novel.” This Is Where It Ends is a unique Southern tale. Women’s fiction.

Nerys Leigh: She writes books that are heart-warming, funny, exciting, and above all, wildly romantic. And she adores a blissfully happy ending. She’s British, but she suspects she might be slowly turning into an American while she writes her stories set in the Wild West filled with mail order brides and railroads and cowboys.

Check out her “Escape to the West” series.

My patrons got to hear which two authors I’ve recently read who were new to me but who I really enjoyed. They are two authors that I’m definitely going to be reading again. Remember that you can always go back through the list of podcasts that I have and listen to my interviews with different authors. I try to have a variety represented there. Scroll through the list and see if there are any new-to-you authors. You just never know who you might discover or the places this author might take you.

What other new-to-you authors have you recently read? What new-to-you authors would you recommend to others?
