Patrick asked Patrick Kanouse:

What books have influenced you as a writer growing up?

Patrick Kanouse The first book I recall reading that was anywhere close to being "adult" was a Hardy Boys book--specifically, THE MYSTERY OF CABIN ISLAND. In high school, I read lots of Robert Ludlum thrillers and science fiction by Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Timothy Zahn. I also read a lot of history.
