Hey, It's Blog Time!
Hello, Goodreads! My name is Adam Bolander, and this is my first Blog Post. I’m the independent author for seven novels, all of which you can find on here, and an weekly updating web-series you can read on WattPad and FictionPress. But that’s not what you want to hear right now. Let’s get to know each other!
I live in Arkansas- and no, I don’t run around barefoot (not everywhere, at least), play banjo, or try to hook up with my cousins. I mean, just in case you were wondering. I do have a fond love of the forest, though, with its peaceful quiet and amazing lack of motorcycles roaring past your house at 2:00 in the morning. Can you think of a better place for a writer to live? Because I can’t...
Besides writing and reading, I also love to play video games. If I’m not writing, reading, or working, I’m probably holed up in my living room with all the curtains drawn, telling myself I’ll turn the TV off after one more level... one more level... My favorite console is the Playstation 3, and some of my favorite games are Heavenly Sword, Tales of Xillia, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, and Nier. If you have any idea what those games are, you’ve probably already realized that I’m a JRPG nut. If you have to ask what a JRPG just forget about it and go back to your Call of Duty.
Anybody who knows me can tell you that I’m an absolute goofball. I love to make my friends laugh. If you don’t like excessive sarcasm, you and I might not get along. I tell people that if they never get a sarcastic remark from me, I probably hate them. Hopefully this will keep my blog posts from being too boring. On another note, Zimbabwe is really fun to say. You should try it sometime.
I love to read. Fantasy is my favorite genre, and the only time I read anything else is for Young Adult books like The Hunger Games or Divergent. My list of favorite authors is as follows: Ted Dekker, Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, R.A. Salvatore, and M.I. McAllister. They’re awesome. Go read their books. Just... just do it. I’ve also just finished reading Incarceron by Catherine Fisher. The link to the review is at the bottom of this post. Click it. Read it. READ IT.
Last but not least: MY BOOKS. My novels can all be listed in the Young Adult Fantasy genre, and I’m proud to say that they’re some of the cleanest young adult books on the market. You get all the good stuff (action, adventure, romance, and a good healthy dose of angst) without any of the bad stuff (swearing, sex, drugs, drinking, and just about everything else that has no place in a Young Adult novel). If you’re a fan of stories like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, you should check out my Slayer/Sphinx trilogy. You can get them from the Amazon Kindle Store for 99 cents each. If you’re into animal stories, like Erin Hunter’s Warriors series, give Legends of the Saloli a look. If you just want to check out my writing without having to spend any money (hey, I don’t blame you!), then get on Smashwords and download Staying Human- it’s completely free! You could also look up Amber Silverblood on WattPad. It’s free to read too, and I update it with a new chapter every Saturday. You can follow me on Twitter, username @adambolander1, and like my Facebook page for updates on how my writing is going. Occaisionally I will drop hints about my new book, which I am mysteriously referring to as PROJECT GRAVITY.
Well, that’s just about it for now. I’ll make new posts whenever something interesting happens. Like, when I finish a new book. Or if I review a book. Or if I have a funny joke that I just can’t wait to tell. So keep checking in. Leave me a comment, send me a message, or a friend request. I want to connect with people on here! So come on, let’s be friends!
Until next time! Adam out.

Cousins? Nah, bro. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Why limit myself to what's already in my fishbowl?
Oh that was actually a rhetorical question. I was meant to put "don't" instead of "do".
