All these books are really in two areas of interest. Action and thriller and light hearted fantasy. I know a strange combination of hard and soft, fast and slow, and silly and serious. But there is one thing all of these authors do better then most. They build the story and characters so that you actually see, feel and experience their lives and their problems. You are not outside looking in, you are part of the experience, and therefore fully engaged in the world and the character situation.

You need this to be successful. So many books are either copies of other ones on the market and don't engage with the reader. The market is full of false copy cat people who get published because they copy someone else's success. Any reader of books will tell you that they love a genre of books and they only read those types, I am open. I will read almost anything on the market but the goal is simple, engage me from the beginning, and keep me focused on the story.

How do you feel about books? Who are your favorite authors? Why do you love reading? Tell me what makes the books you read important to you, and together we can journey and share the world of books with all the people who still love reading in todays electronic world.
