Reading and authors

I’m an avid reader, have been for a very long time. I was a huge Stephen King fan in middle school. I read several of his books, The Shining, Pet Sematary, Misery to name a few . My reading wanned some in high school, but not completely, it was then that I was introduced to John Sandford, who is still one of my favorite writers. Throughout my years in the Army I read a lot, and after I got out I continued to read. Over the years the genres and authors I read changed. For a long time I was a murder mystery, thriller reader. Stuff by James Patterson, Dan Brown, Michael Connelly, and others.

But the past eight years or so. I’ve switched to a much more fantasy, science fiction genre, and Young adult. Not to say I didn’t read that before. I did. Just not as the main reading material. Since I started writing much more frequently the last year and half. I started to branch out not only in the genres I read again. But in the authors that I read. I’ve read mainstream like I always did. but I’ve been reading and supporting indie authors like myself. Sure I’ve found some bad books out there, both from mainstream and indie. But I’ve read a lot of great stuff too.

I feel like I should mention some of the indies that I’ve read and loved, M.L Adams, Sean Platt and David Wright, Tony Healey, Alexander Maisey and Karen McQuestion. Each book I read by them was an enjoyable read. Each story drew you in. You should give them a try.
