Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
April 4: Indie/Self-Published Books (submitted by Nicole @ BookWyrm Knits)
I don’t read a lot of indie books, so I don’t have ten, but I wanted to highlight some local authors who I know personally.
Barbar Helene Smith uses her background working for the FDA to create the believable Connie Murphy mysteries staring FDA investigator.
Rick Iekel combines the history of aviation, the story of the Rochester airport, and personal stories from his years as the director of the airport. The Roc Journey thru the 20th Century
Andrea Page is a former co-worker and friend. After learning of her great-uncle’s role in WWII, she spent years researching the Sioux Code Talkers of World War II.
I can’t share too much about The Divine Meddler without spoilers. I will just say it’s a great concept that combines mystery and redemption.
It’s such a nice thing to support local authors! My local library used to reserve a shelf just for local authors. (Maybe they still do? I started borrowing ebooks and audiobooks exclusively several years ago, so I don’t go to my library’s physical location as much anymore. 🙂 )

Supporting local authors is so fun! I like to recommend Washington state authors Tarryn Fisher, Lauren Layne, and a bunch of others.
Ah what a nice way to use this week’s post!
