Michael Stackpole does a lot of self publishing nowadays. I think he was blacklisted after the Star Wars author pay debacle and said screw it and went the self publishing route.

Drew Hayes (not the Poison elves Drew Hayes) writes a ton of great self published books. They are fairly light weight, but a lot of fun.

I reviewed Aaron Wright's novella Bad Humors, which is absolutely great. I originally found it on /r/reviewcircle.

I've found other good stories by going to Goodreads' Similar Books section from books that I enjoyed.
