Awesome New Authors I Discovered in 2024

Trying to decide on my favourite books of 2024 is too hard, so I'm listing the great new authors I discovered this year instead!

Christina Baehr - with her cozy Victorian fantasy series The Secrets of Ormdale. The series is complete at 5 books, and she's starting on a new series in the same world, set a little bit later.

Mel Harding-Shaw (also Melanie Harding-Shaw) - a New Zealand writer of New Zealand set fantasy, urban fantasy novella Against the Grain and post-apocalyptic fantasy series Soul Court Ascension. So strange (in a good way!) to read books set in places where I've visited/lived.

Linzi Day - her Midlife Recorder series was highly recommended by a number of people, prompting me to give it a try. Very interesting world building.

Jo Segura - Raiders of the Lost Heart was a fun rom-com adventure with an own-voices Latina archeologist with a great cover. I'm looking forward to her next book (out in mid Jan).

Kass O'Shire - starting with a scientifically minded heroine in a fantasy world, her Shades of Sanctuary series is smart fantasy romance with footnotes.

Mary Kingswood - in each book of her Strangers series, a stranger comes to town, hiding mysteries. I read the entire series in a row, I just couldn't stop myself from starting the next book, and then the next... Closed door regency-set romance mysteries, more realistic than most regency-set romances and mysteries.

Matt Dinniman - completely surprised me by finding some of the best books of the year in the game-lit genre (seriously, there are great books in every genre, never dismiss an entire genre out of hand!). The premise of Dungeon Crawler Carl is ridiculous, aliens have turned Earth into a reality show dungeon, where you play or you die. But Carl and his ex girlfriends prize winning cat, Donut, form a great team, and half-way through the first book, I realized this was no longer just frothy (violent) fun, but heart-wrenching (violent) social commentary, with trauma, character growth and a really interesting series arc. Highly recommended.

Li Chen - another New Zealand author, Detective Beans and the Case of the Missing Hat is an adorable middle grade graphic novel. Li Chen is also the author of web comic Exocomics.

Meihan Boey - The Formidable Miss Cassidy seems to start as a standard 'white woman goes to early 20th century Singapore' book, but it's not that type of book at all. Miss Cassidy is more than she seems.

Beth Revis - Full Speed to a Crash Landing is the first of three space opera heist novellas. Apparently, she was initially motivated to write these by spite! These novellas are fun, action packed, with commentary that's getting more pointed in each installment. Can't wait to see how it all ends in April.

Em X Liu - If Found, Return to Hell was a really good urban fantasy novella. A wizard call centre employee goes out of their way to help a caller who has been possessed. Found family.

Itaru Kinoshita - Dinosaur Sanctuary is a realistic manga about dinosaur zoo keepers. One of the dinosaurs had gout!

Have you read any of these authors? What did you think? What awesome new authors did you discover in 2024?

I can't wait to find out what new authors I find in 2025!

yo like for real we need to get haileys on it, moon girl and other great shows that didn’t get the spotlight, let’s get it popular and trending people. also a helpful video below of mine like and subscribe

Disney XD USA is set to rerun "Shorts Spectacular: Hailey Banks' Disney Mini Movie Marathon" and Chibiverse's "The Chibi Couple Game" this Saturday at 5:00PM EST and 6:00PM EST.

The is the first time some Hailey's On It! related content gets rerun after the show got removed from Disney devices unknow reasons back in October 2024.

I just hope this means that the main show will return as reruns on Disney XD and returning to Disney+ beacuse the crew of Hailey's On It! deserves to at least have their work to be seen.

Neobohaiornis lamadongensis Shen et al., 2024 (new genus and species)

(Type specimen of Neobohaiornis lamadongensis, from Shen et al., 2024)

Meaning of name: Neobohaiornis = new [in Greek] Bohaiornis [another dinosaur that might have been a close relative]; lamadongensis = from Lamadong

Age: Early Cretaceous (Aptian), between 119–123 million years ago

Where found: Jiufotang Formation, Liaoning, China

How much is known: Nearly complete skeleton of one individual with preserved feathers.

Notes: Neobohaiornis was an enantiornithean, a group of bird-like, usually flight-capable dinosaurs from the Cretaceous. It appears to have been closely related to Bohaiornis, a roughly pigeon-sized enantiornithean also known from the Jiufotang Formation. However, Neobohaiornis was much smaller, being closer in size to a sparrow. The claws on its wings were relatively small compared to those of most other enantiornitheans.

The feathers of Neobohaiornis are fairly well preserved. Like many other enantiornitheans with known plumage, it had feathers covering most of its head other than the tip of its snout, and a pair of elongated feathers on its tail.

Reference: Shen, C., A.D. Clark, H. Fang, S. Chen, H. Jiang, Q. Ji, and J.K. O'Connor. 2024. A new diminutive species of bohaiornithid enantiornithine (Aves: Ornithothoraces) from the Lower Cretaceous Jehol Group, northern China. Scientific Reports 14: 31363. doi: 10.1038/s41598-024-82869-8

I'M NOT A RELIGIOUS PERSON BUT

God sent an angel. One of his least qualified, though. Fluent only in

Lemme get back to you. The angel sounded like me, early twenties,

unpaid interning. Proficient in fetching coffee, sending super

vague emails. It got so bad God personally had to speak to me.

This was annoying because I’m not a religious person. I thought

I’d made this clear to God by reading Harry Potter & not attending

church except for gay weddings. God did not listen to me. God is

not a good listener. I said Stop it please, I’ll give you wedding cake,

money, candy, marijuana. Go talk to married people, politicians,

children, reality TV stars. I’ll even set up a booth for you,

then everyone who wants to talk to you can do so

without the stuffy house of worship, the stuffier middlemen,

& the football blimps that accidentally intercept prayers

on their way to heaven. I’ll keep the booth decorations simple

but attractive: stickers of angels & cats, because I’m not religious

but didn’t people worship cats? Thing is, God couldn’t take a hint.

My doctor said to eat an apple every day. My best friend said to stop

sleeping with guys with messiah complexes. My mother said she is

pretty sure she had sex with my father so I can’t be some new

Asian Jesus. I tried to enrage God by saying things like When I asked 

my mother about you, she was in the middle of making dinner

so she just said Too busy. I tried to confuse God by saying I am 

a made-up dinosaur & a real dinosaur & who knows maybe 

I love you, but then God ended up relating to me. God said I am

a good dinosaur but also sort of evil & sometimes loving no one.

It rained & we stayed inside. Played a few rounds of backgammon.

We used our indoor voices. It got so quiet I asked God

about the afterlife. Its existence, human continued existence.

He said Oh. That. Then sent his angel again. Who said Ummmmmmm.

I never heard from God or his rookie angel after that. I miss them.

Like creatures I made up or found in a book, then got to know a bit.

atm i don't work bc of ill health, but ordinarily i'd work as a forensic mental healthcare assistant at a residential hospital / rehab centre.

i actually love my current job, i find it to be a rewarding and fulfilling role and i think i'm good at it

something you're good at

retaining information about subjects that interest me (like ancient histories and cultures, and ofc dinosaurs, and more recently: birds sjfhkjs)

something you hate

not being able to work atm, i feel like i've lost my purpose a little and kind of like i'm not useful if i'm not working and earning

mathematics!!!!!! but also the way they made us run laps of the town for two hours every wednesday

what's your best / worst character trait?

best, maybe i'm kind? i think i am. worst would be my total lack of confidence in myself and what i'm capable of (which in my head, isn't much ksfjhs)

if you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

i would cure my tumour and not have to dread dying before i'm 50 bc i don't think i'll have lived enough of my life by that point, and i'm scared about it.

if you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

carl sagan, jeff buckley, and river phoenix, i think
