I am absolutely amazed by authors. And I don’t just mean the big authors like Jodi Piccoult, Cassandra Clare, or J.K. Rowling. Nor do I mean classic (and older) authors like Nathaniel Hawthorne, Homer, Shakespeare, or Jane Austen. I am not even referring to up-and-coming authors who clearly have a gift, like Josephine Angelini, Michael J. Sullivan, or (insert your favorite new author here).
No. I am not talking about anyone specific, just talking about authors in general. All authors have my deepest respect for the work they do, but I should clarify that I am talking about those who write fiction.
Anyone who came come up with a story out of nowhere and craft an intricate tale full of amazing detail … you amaze me. Absolutely amaze me. The better the story, the greater my awe. But even the simplest of tales are amazing feats. The more complex the plot, the more amazed I am – even if the execution of it is less than stellar. Just the ability someone has to create a unique narrative that works is something I can only dream about! LOL
And that is another reason for the Authors from A to Z posting challenge, which begins in a few short hours! I get to highlight and share some of my favorite authors. While, yes, big authors are awesome, I’m trying to focus on those who aren’t quite yet a household name. I want to share my love for these authors’ talent – and their creation(s), too, of course. I hope to introduce you, my readers, to someone new. Someone definitely worth checking out. Or, if you’ve heard of some of these authors, perhaps you’ll be more likely to give them a chance. And I hope many of you will do the same – join me in this posting challenge to share some of your favorites so I can find new favorites, too.
Stop by tomorrow – and every day through the month of June – to make sure you don’t miss out on any!

This is awesome! I agree with you 100%. I found the indie book collective and have found so many great authors and reads that I would not normally have known about. What fun! I look forward to following.
I will be happy to join in some days in June, look forward to it.
