This week's theme for Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is "Bookish Discoveries I Made in 2025." I am going to list 10 authors that I hadn't heard of before or ones I now know about that would be added to my TBR pile. I have either read one of their books or own one to read this year. The link will take you to their Goodreads page if you want to see a full book list and bio. Happy reading!
1. Michael Jecks- Focusing on the first crusade, historical fiction on a subject that is hard to find
2. Abigail Keam- She runs a Facebook cozy mystery page I love and has written some cute cozies herself.
3. Vanessa Kelly- Her cozy country house mysteries have a Jane Austen feel to them and look cute.
4. Michael Livingston- Non-fiction author focusing on medieval history...my favorite!
5. C.W. Gortner- His novels about more obscure queens intrigue me enough to start collecting them...Juana of Castile and Isabella of Castile are two that I want to read more about.
6. Raymond Wemmlinger- His novels also feature historical subjects less known....Queen Anne of Scotland is one I'd like to read about.
7. Beth Cowan-Erskine- she writes 1930's country house murder mysteries set in Scotland....and there are only two books so far so this might be a series I can actually stay caught up with.
8. Katherine Kurtz- She has written several novels about The Knights Templar and their origins. These books were written in the 1990's so they are becoming classics.
9. Jenny Telfer Chaplain- She writes "sweeping, historical family sagas" and the box set I have is set in Ireland and Scotland around the late Victorian era.
10. Myra Hargrave McIlvain- Her novels and specialty is Texas historical fiction set in the mid-1800's. I am from Texas so they looked intriguing.
Do you know any of these great authors? Which of their books are you familiar with and would you recommend them?
