Independently Published Authors that Deserve More Attention (56 books)

More and more often I'm finding my favorite authors are Independent publishers. They don't have huge corporations to fund their PR campaigns, so if you know an author who's an Independent/self-published author add first in series of their books.

I ask specifically first in series so that it doesn't get too crowded. If they have multiple series please add first of each series you love.
