It's raining today- one of those grey and deary New England days.
Another question I've gotten in interviews is what my literary influences are. Here on GoodReads everyone can easily see what authors I read (Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, Ian Rankin, Lee Child, Steve Berry, James Rollins, and so on).
I thought it would be fun to discuss some of the classic authors I enjoy. In this category, I must mention Shakespeare first. I view him as having developed archetypal stories that will endure forever. I also look to mythology, history and art for ideas.
There are many authors I have enjoyed whose books I haven't reviewed. For example, Agatha Christie, Virgina Woolf, PD James, Zora Neale Hurston, James Herbert, Tolkein, and many others.
From this grab bag of authors, I guess you can tell that I read a pretty wide range of genres. Although more recently, I have tended toward upbeat, entertaining stories.
The main thing is one can never have too many books!
