New to me authors - 2015

I like discovering new to me authors. This may mean taking a chance on a debut book, or finally getting around to reading an author I'd long been aware of, or reading an author whose work I'd known about sooner.

This year almost half of the books that I read were by new to me authors. In no particular order, here they are:

• Yuri Herrera
• Iain Ryan
• Kat Clay
• Adam Howe
• Paul Magrs
• Jonathan Ashley
• Colin Winnette
• Timothy Friend
• William Giraldi
• Clifford Jackman
• H. A. DeRosso
• Farel Dalrymple
• Ryan W. Bradley
• Marlon James
• John Darnielle
• Brian Turner
• William Cunningham
• Kenneth Mark Hoover
• Andy Adams
• Eric Shonkwiler
• Lonesome Wyatt
• Kirsten Alene
• Glendon Swarthout
• Alan Lemay
• Elmer Kelton
• Clifton Adams
• Charles Neider
• Conrad Richter
• Eric Norden
• Lewis B. Patten
• Charles O Locke
