If you look up-page on this subforum, you'll see where Saladin Ahmed is going to be in a Q&A right here. Can't recommend his Throne of the Crescent Moon enough. Also, he is your one degree of separation from a shockingly good collection of current authors; he co-DMed an all-author D&D session at Epic ConFusion in Detroit earlier this year, and you wouldn't go wrong reading ANY of the participants there. Read this blog post by Saladin's co-DM, Myke Cole, and look up EVERY participant name. You'll have a couple of months' worth of reading and be hungry for more:
Also, as has been noted, Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series and Codex Alera series. And don't miss Benedict Jacka's Alex Verus books (very Dresdenesque but definitely develops its own interesting voice) and Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles (a rollicking barrel of fun).
