An ever-evolving list of diverse romance/mystery/horror authors (authors of color, queer authors, authors with disabilities, feminist authors, strong female voices in typically male dominated genres, etc.) that I’ve read and enjoyed and recommend for readers to add to their TBR piles, if interested! Click on the author’s name to be taken to their website where you can check out their books for yourself! Enjoy and Happy Reading!
