BOOKS I RECOMMEND

Being a write, I believe, goes hand in hand with being an avid reader, and not only for the purposes of market research. My family call me "the librarian" because they come and browse my bookshelves of for reading material. I get asked for a lot of suggestions, and also give a lot of suggestions too, because another thing I believe is that there is a book out there for everyone. If you say you don't like reading, then you probably just haven't found your style.

Although my style tends to run towards the fantastical, there are a great many genres running behind it, vying for that front spot. I've been known to enjoy historical fiction, autobiographies, horror, romance, comedy and mystery, and everything in between.
