Today I’m featuring my favorite Books by Indie Authors. As
an indie author myself, I have a special place in my heart for the many
independently published books I’ve read. It was hard to narrow this list to
five ... and even now I keep thinking of more I could have added!
Kate’s Case Files by Sarah Holman – This is currently
an eight-book series, but there will be nine, and I’ve loved walking (and
running!) with the characters on this fictional FBI team that the series
follows. Their strong camaraderie and their journeys of finding deeper faith in
God warms my heart, while there is plenty of suspense to make me turn those
pages fast.
The Thaw Series by E. Kaiser Writes – This fantasy series
isn’t completely wrapped up either, but the three books that are currently
published are rich with character development, evocative prose, luscious
worldbuilding, and breathless adventure. A loose retelling of The Snow Queen
and The Snow Maiden, there are also elements that might seem familiar
from Frozen, but with even deeper themes and a more complex storyline.
My favorite from the series is the third book, Prince of Demargen.
Wilkester Mysteries by Barbara Cornthwaite – These
are unique even in the world of cozy mysteries. With strong and heartfelt
Christian themes, these stories follow a forty-year-old single woman who is a
literature professor and an editor—two of my favorite professions (I once
considered becoming a literature prof!). I appreciate the romantic
elements—focused on godliness and very encouraging for those who are going
through prolonged singleness—as well as all the bookish references, even apart
from the intrigue of the mysteries themselves.
There Was Always Laughter in Our House by Sarah Holman – This nonfiction memoir of a Christian homeschool family is a delight
from cover to cover. There are so many things for other homeschoolers to relate
to and to be encouraged by. It’s refreshing and positive yet realistic.
