I SO agree. And he's a genuine guy, too. He works hard to build up his fan base, and does a great job!

I've read "Kraken" by Mieville, but will have to check out Will Christopher Baer! I <3 learning about new authors!

[Amy]

Yes--I agree, China Mieville needs more love!

Also, Dennis Lehane. His Kenzie & Gennaro series is pure gold. Not to mention Mystic River and Shutter Island :-)

Tim Powers Author of Declare and The Drawing of the Dark. Tim Powers great. He is throrough in his research and his prose is down right lyrical.

I have to add Barbara Freethy to the list. She's a mainstream author gone indie and I can't get enough of her.

Well, I haven't read Tim Powers yet, but I do like sci-fi and fantasy.

If you haven't read him, I'd start with "Declare" (and tell me if he don't evoke a 1984 (ish) mood and feeling in the first 1/5 of the book.

Drawing of the dark is more like epic fantasy, set in historical Europe.

And the one I want to read is "The Anubis Gates" but that one isn't availible on Kindle yet.

I would throw J. California Cooper in the mix. Her short story collections are wonderful.

Another author I need to catch up on. And, short stories are my secret indulgence ;)
