Top Ten Tuesday #11: Authors Who Deserve More Recognition

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish. 

This week's topic:Top Ten Seven Authors Who Deserve More Recognition. This one was kind of a hard topic for me. I think it was difficult because I feel like most of the authors I read are pretty well known already. Click the book titles to find out more about them! 

1. Christopher Farnsworth is a man who knows how to write an awesome vampire novel without the mushy love stuff. His Nathaniel Cade series is awesome. Full of crazy monsters and a vampire that works for the president of the United States of America. I'm still not sure why I don't see more people in love with his books as I am. Read: Blood Oath (Nathaniel Cade #1)

2. Heather Topham Wood is a wonderful New Adult author who is incredibly nice to her readers and whose books are unique and aren't all just about steamy scenes and romance. Who doesn't love reading about a young snarky woman who has psychic visions? Read: First Visions (Second Sight #1)


3. Cate Tiernan knows how to write a good paranormal novel. I was smitten with this author when her Sweep series featuring witchcraft came out back in 2001. I don't know if I'm missing something or what but I don't see nearly enough people reading her books. Read: Book of Shadows (Wicca #1) or Immortal Beloved (Immortal Beloved #1)

4. R.L. Mathewson is a self-published author that rocks my world. I love spreading the word about her books whenever I can. She writes cute and hilarious (and don't worry they are steamy too) romance novels and a very well done and unique vampire series. Read: Playing for Keeps (Neighbor from Hell #1) and Tall, Dark, & Lonely (Pyte/Sentinel #1)

5. Nikki Jefford is another author who deserves some more recognition. I just read her New Adult vampire novel a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it. She also writes a young adult paranormal fantasy series. Read: Aurora Sky Vampire Hunter: Volume 1 Transfusion

6. John Marsden is still amazing to this day. I am a huge fan of the Tomorrow series and I never understood why his books are not more popular. I know this series came out in the 90's and was probably more popular then but I don't remember, but they are due for a comeback anyway. The Tomorrow Series is one of the best young adult series that I have ever read and will always remember. I know many people that have never even heard of John Marsden. :( Read: Tomorrow, When the War Began (Tomorrow #1)

7. How to Lead a Life of Crime by Kirsten Miller is an amazing book. Why is everyone not reading it? I'm really surprised it isn't more popular. I mean this author should get way more recognition for this book alone. I have yet to read any other books by her so I can't say anything about those but I'm going to give them a try. Read: How to Lead a Life of Crime

Please share links to your Top Ten Tuesday posts below and tell me what you think of mine. :) I can't wait to see everyone else's lists to find out what authors I'm missing out on.
