New author challenge 2012

I try to read something new breaking from my regular genre just to go out of my happy shell of reading...Most often I end up with new authors and and that how I have learnt many things and enjoy my love of reading something new most often from new authors..Signing up for Jules short story challenge 2012 I had made up my mind not to get into another challenge.. But then I just couldn't resist with this one..So here I'm signing up for New author 2012..This time I would like to start with just 10 authors.. Rule says that the author need not be a debutant but new to me...Again good luck to me...
