New Author Challenge

This challenge is hosted by Literary Escapism and is in it's 5th year!

The idea behind this is to find new authors that you’ve never tried before, not necessarily ones that are debuting. They can be in your genre of choice or be brave and try something new. You never know what you’re going to like until you try it

I hope to read 50 "new to me" authors in 2013.
