Here are a couple of them that I found with a quick google for more info. I haven't heard of any of them. I wonder if they are first time authors? EDIT: I saw some published by smashwords and a lot by wattpad and Xlibris Corporation.

a review of The Chronicles of Illumaril by Gary Caplan here is part of it
Quote:
The Chronicles of Illumaril is an interesting story full of imaginative characters with special powers and colorful landscapes. However, there are so many characters with so many special powers; it can be a challenge to keep track of them all or to understand their purpose. In addition, the story seemed to get caught up in minutia detail at times that had little significance to strengthening its plot. The amount of effort Gary Caplan (the primary author) put into writing this novel is evident; particularly in the final pages where he provides an imaginary journal written by Gideon about his travels. In the journal is a listing of nobility ranks by title. This list is nice, but would have been more useful in the earlier pages where it could have helped the reader figure out the various rank structures mentioned throughout the story.
Chronicles of Illumaril is a good first stab at writing a full-length novel. With more work and writing experience, Gary Caplan (the primary author) can look forward to many more epic ventures into the fantasy genre. –Jeff Ovall, Y-30 Staff

Book Summary: Clear Lake Dark Lies
Clear Lake seems like the perfect little country town. To those that visit, it seems to be a touch of heaven. Beautiful mountains are set next to a clear blue lake with houses, stores, and the remnants of the old mill. To Luke Mills, the town is hiding a dark secret. From the time he is four to the time he leaves his parents house to start his own family he fights unseen forces that seem bent on destroying him. Strange unexplained deaths, disappearance of people, rape, incest, witchcraft all come into play in Luke's life. He searches for answers to what is really happening in town as he comes in contact with those that are behind the deeds. He comes to believe that the demons that reside in Clear Lake have most blinded to the truth. He fears that he himself has become one of those demons. Not until he is out of Clear Lake at the age of 30 does he come face to face with his demon and the dark lies are made clear.
