The Fantasy Books

Switched

by Hocking, Amanda

Description

Hocking is probably the most popular "indie author" on this list with millions of copies of her books sold on Amazon. She's a firm member of the "Kindle Millionaires Club." I use the word 'indie author' loosely here -- so's so popular she's left that term far behind at this point.Hocking writes those sort of fantasy books you might find on the magazine shelves of a grocery store -- formulaic and entertaining with a professionally book cover, but lacking personality.She's now technically a hybrid author --  having published both indie and now signed with Macmillan, so we can't count her as a true "indie" author anymore. Still, Hocking helped paved the way for the current crop of indie authors proving that the indie path can be a path to serious financial success and global popularity.You may enjoy her style of urban fantasy. But even more, I also recommend checking her books out so you see exactly what the indie marketplace is capable of producing. This may very well be the future of publishing with every book published digitally only.
