I’d like to do a monthly post on under appreciated authors–you know the ones who fly under the general reader’s radar. Lately, when I’ve discovered a ‘new-to-me’ author, they’ve well and truly been discovered–as in New York Times<\/em> bestselling author. Actually, when I think about it I did recently discover Mira Lyn Kelly<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. She writes for Harlequin Presents and I found her on Twitter. I think the deal was she had a book coming out so I requested a copy from Harlequin to review (like to support my Twitter followers as much and whenever I can). The book was FRONT PAGE AFFAIR<\/strong><\/span> and I absolutely loved it so I went back and found her debut, which was WILD FLING OR A WEDDING RING<\/strong><\/span>. Loved that one too.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>Well I got an advance read on her upcoming October release, S BEFORE THE EX<\/strong><\/span> and loved it!<\/em> Her books are so emotional and sexy–my absolute favourite kind.\u00a0 So I guess today I do have one author I think has been flying under the radar despite what I state at the beginning of the post.<\/p>\n

What about you? Is there an author you think isn’t getting the proper ‘deference’ by the reading public? Comment and enter to win another book from my stash still left from the Anniversary Giveaway!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“…So attention must be paid. He’s not to be allowed to fall into his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person.”
