Indie authors are awesome. They're also some of the most underappreciated writers out there. For that reason, I wanted to create a list of some of my favorite works from independent (or small press) authors that I've read over the past few years. These will be listed alphabetically, and contain direct purchase links to Amazon for easy purchasing! Do note that these purchase links are part of the Amazon affiliates program, and any purchase made through it will give me a small commission.
