Mark Pryor:
I am so glad I discovered this series! For a voracious reader, it's difficult to find a series that remains consistent. I love the In Death series by J.D. Robb, because, like yours, they are balanced with great characters and serious subject matter-not too hard, not too soft. So here's my question: who do you read? And secondly, which authors influenced your writing? Jessie

Hi Jessie,
I have NO idea how I missed this question, I am so sorry!
To answer... my favorite author is probably Phillip Kerr and his Bernie Gunther series. Love those. I also read anything by Alan Furst. For nonfiction I go with Erik Larson, who is utterly brilliant.
As for my influences... well, they'd be the traditional mysteries of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie. Alan Furst, too, for his descriptive prowess.
Again, sorry for the delayed response, and thank you for the kind words!
Best,
Mark
