Which new-to-me authors did I love in 2024?

Al Hess

He writes sci-fi set in the American west, such as Utah and Wyoming. His book feature trans characters and also AI characters. Once I read Key Lime Sky I had to keep picking up his work.

T. J. Deschamps

This is urban fantasy that starts with a middle aged woman needing to come out of hiding. She’s supernatural and has been on the run. I like series that feature female protagonists who aren’t young adults.

Jessica Rosenberg

These books combine the urban fantasy story of a woman coming into magic with a bakery setting. The author also promotes other authors really well. I think she is how I found T.J. Deschamps.

Jenny Colgan

This is a series about a woman starting her life over on an island off the coast of England.

A. L. Knorr

I’d had Born of Water on my TBR for a while because I like elemental magic stories. I finally got to this series in 2024.

Jennifer Hart

This continues the theme of middle aged women finding magic.


Now I have new to me authors that I only read one book from in 2024 but I liked.
