Throughout history woman writers have been making a name for themselves, some writing under male pen names to get their work published.  Today much has changed with small and independent publishers bringing new female talent to the market.  If it weren’t for those powerful women who blazed the trails in the past; who knows where our modern-day lady writers would be.  Perhaps, still using masculine pseudonyms, we may never know.  If you’re looking for some of the hottest new independent female authors hitting the shelves, look to Infinity Publishing’s catalog.  Week after week, female writers are turning to Infinity Publishing to publish their work and with one bestseller after another, the gentlemen authors should watch out.  Infinity Publishing female authors are taking center stage and loving every minute of their publishing success.  Let’s take a look at some incredible titles.

Dr. Yvonne Thornton, author of Something to Prove.

First, let’s talk about Dr. Yvonne Thornton, otherwise known as “Dr. T.”  This author is full of energy and has a passion for everything she does in life, shines through.  Her enthusiasm is contagious and it shines through in her work.  She is the author of the bestselling heartwarming memoir The Ditchdigger’s Daughters (which has been translated into 19 languages and adapted as an award-winning movie), knows what it’s like to overcome steep odds. Born into a family with great ambition but few advantages, Dr. Thornton watched her parents work their entire lives to give their daughters a chance, dreaming of the day their girls would be called “doctor.”  Now, in Something to Prove, Dr. Thornton brings us along her continued path as a doctor and mother, revealing the challenges of balancing a flourishing medical career with a growing family. 

She is an author who is won’t stop until she is at the top…and she deserves it!  Her book is also available in audio, so you can take her story with you on the road.  She recently met Michelle Obama our first lady and that is just how she spent one of her weekends.

Kristin Best, author of Wedding Thank You Notes: Modern Works of Art

Author Kristin Best has hit both the Amazon and Barnes and Noble bestsellers lists for her book Wedding Thank You Notes: Modern Works of Art.  Her book launched February 10, 2012 and is currently holding the #1 bestselling position on Kindle and at Barnes and Noble for “wedding thank you” and is in the #2 position for the paperback edition on Amazon.  Authors everywhere should take note of this author’s success. 

Why is this book so exciting? 

Ms. Best, found an untapped niche in the wedding book genre.  This gem doesn’t come around every day.  Sure there are a few books out there that talk about wedding thank you notes, but this book goes all the way.  It providing hundreds of pre-written thank you messages for virtually every type of wedding gift a couple could possibly receive. A bride can flip through her alphabetical listing of gift items, from crock pots to golf clubs and either copy the beautifully  written thank you, word for word or use it as a guide and include along with it a personalized addition.  Each thank you message has been carefully crafted and this book will become a staple in a bride’s wedding book library for years and decades to come.   This author is soon to be positioned as the wedding thank you note expert.  Her website is www.thankyounotesforweddings.com.

These three incredible female authors are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Infinity Publishing has to offer in their diverse catalog.  Be on the lookout for our next female success story with traditionally published author turned indie author, Sylvia Lafair.  Her book, Gutsy; How Women Leaders Make Change will be published in June 2012.
