Good grief, how much time have you got? Unknown authors are my specialist subject. Not for me the residents of bestseller lists or airport bookshops or the type of book that\u2019s stacked high on tables near the door at Waterstones. In fact, most of my favourite authors don\u2019t make it onto the shelves of bookstores at all. I could go on all day, but here are just a few that I love.<\/p>\n

H Anthe Davis<\/strong><\/em>: an American who writes epic fantasy with a hint of horror, compelling characters and industrial-strength world-building. The first of the War of Memory<\/em><\/strong> series is The Light of Kerrindryr<\/em><\/strong>. She\u2019s a slow-brew kind of writer, so the series is as yet incomplete, with three books out so far.<\/p>\n

Marina Finlayson<\/strong><\/em>: an Australian who writes fast-paced urban fantasy of the werewolf variety, with added dragons and just a touch of romance, and loads of Aussie humour. Her The Proving<\/em><\/strong> trilogy is now complete; start with Twiceborn<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Claire Frank<\/strong><\/em>: an American author of wonderful epic fantasy with a great magic system, some intriguing characters with an unusual history, and a shed-load of all-action magely battles. The Echoes of Imara<\/em><\/strong> series will be complete soon; start with To Whatever End<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

S E Robertson<\/strong><\/em>: a single-book author, but what a book! The Healers<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 Road<\/em><\/strong> can only be described as literary fantasy; two healers, one using magic and one not, have to spend a year travelling about with a caravan of merchants, coming to terms with each other\u2019s very different personalities and methods.<\/p>\n
