It seems budding New Zealand authors, just like many of their overseas counterparts, are now embracing the e-book revolution and the ability to test the market directly with their writing, rather than going through traditional large publishers. HUNTERS is the latest such book by a New Zealand crime or thriller writer I have come across. It was released on Amazon last month.

I guess it's good to see that the growing New Zealand crime fiction scene isn't restricted to those authors that are being published more and more by the big publishing houses like Penguin, HarperCollins and Hodder, and that the passion for crime fiction by Kiwis exists much more broadly.

Have you read many ebook originals or print-on-demand titles from crime writers - New Zealanders or otherwise - who have taken advantage of opportunities on Amazon, Smashwords and elsewhere? What have been some of your 'finds' amongst the titles available online?
