If you were immortal, what would you do with your time? For some it would be to travel the world, perhaps live in every place at least once. Maybe you would want to spend more time doing something that you love. Others maybe clueless because that's A LOT of time, eternal, actually, so what else is there? For me, it’s reading. Reading all books that were ever published, or at least the fiction ones, but I guess if I get desperate, I'll just suck it up and read some non-fiction.

As a writer, I believe it's important that I also be a reader, and for anyone who knows me, that I am for sure. Reading serves several purposes for me. One is for plain old inspiration to get myself into gear and write. Another is to see how other authors spin their stories. How do they go about setting the plot and the tone, describing their characters in time and space, as well as weaving the story itself into one amazing tale? It also helps to expand my vocabulary, perhaps learning new words to use in my own story. And of course, it's my favorite past time, helping me escape to a different world if for an hour or two.

So not only do I write for you, my followers, I will also be reading for you as well. I have read many books in the past and here on this site will be my most recent. Currently I am reading Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged,' which I affectionately call 'The Brick' because it's the largest novel I have ever read. I'll go more into it when I do the book review. For now, enjoy the ones I have posted on here. I'll even be retroactive and do reviews on other books I have read in the past. I love hearing from you, so let me know what you think and also I am open to suggestions on what you would recommend.

Perhaps on here you'll find your next read!
