2013 New (to me) Author Challenge

I've done this challenge for the past three years and discovered some great new-to-me authors along the way (not hard to believe since I've read 292 new (to me) authors from 2010 to 2012). My favorite authors I "discovered" over the past few years are C.C. Galloway, DJ Gross, Larissa Ione, Abigail Roux, Riley Shane, Cherise Sinclair, and Dee Tenorio.
