My Favorite Authors and Novels
Reading is one of my favorite past times. I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I have amassed a large collection of my favorite authors and novels in my own personal library. These have become my treasure that I will never part with.
When I start a novel that interests me, I can sit for hours discovering a new world and the characters that have seemingly been created just for me. I love immersing myself in a storyline that can capture my complete attention.
I can also spend hours browsing the library of the book store shelves looking for new authors to read. My favorite genre is horror fiction. Authors such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Saul, Bentley Little, and others have taken me to places I only imagined in my worst nightmares, but I have enjoyed every moment of the ride.
This lens is my collection of my favorite authors and novels that I have created so far. You'll find links to each of my book and writer fan pages and discover why they are my favorites. I hope that you enjoy my collection and let me know what you think by taking the poll, participating in the duel, and signing the guest book that I have included.

Not my very favorite, but there is some wonderful stuff in here. And there is more to it than people think. For example, IT is really a coming of age story with many good insights into kids that would help parents. After Columbine I wrote King that if more people read IT that might not have happened.

I don't write in that genre but I don't mind reading it once in a while. I write middle grade, YA and novels for young women... some historical... some adventure.

No! I'm too much of a chicken for that. A bloody mystery or suspense I can handle but not horror.

Horror is the one genre that I absolutely can't read. My imagination runs away with me and I end up not being able to sleep for days afterward.
