Big Hugs for New Authors

Let's share some goodness today.

I was thinking earlier about the author letter that's going round the blogs at the moment, where bloggers are choosing their favourite authors and writing a letter to them.  All of these letters, at least those from the m/m blogs, have been directed towards established authors, and rightly so as authors need to have a bit of a backlist to build up a fan base.  Then I was thinking of how many new m/m authors there are recently and how they don't often get mentioned once their book is out and has done the review rounds, at least until their next book is released.

So I thought I'd put up a few recommendations for those who want to try out a new author, or who may have seen an author's book/s and want to know whether they are worth taking a chance on.  All these authors have had their first m/m novel or novella released in the last few months:




Sloan Parker - Her first book More was a huge success on Good Reads and although I had a couple of problems with it - review here - the majority of readers have loved it.








Wren Boudreau - Ice-cream on the Side was a fantastic first novel, my review is here.










Eden Winters - I keep plugging her stuff because it's just so good.  The Wish was her first published novel and has had a lot of positive reviews, including mine.








Amy Lane - I was blown away by her book Keeping Promise Rock - review here - and I'm very much looking forward to the new book coming out in the next few months.









Belinda McBride - She's written some m/m/f books, but An Uncommon Whore was her first m/m.  An exciting sci-fi which showed great promise - review here.








So, what about you guys?  I can only read so many books in a week and I'm sure there are lots of other new authors which I've missed and should read.  Any recommendations for me and the readers of this blog?
