An Introvert's World of Books discussion

There are so many wonderful authors but I wanted to start with my absolute favorite. I was in my favorite little bookstore, total of 10 shelves that was attached to a small café. Cover to Cover.

I picked up Black Cross and the man ringing me up said that I was going to love it. It was his favorite book. He was so right. Not only was this my first novel by Greg, it was my first WWII fiction. And I was hooked on both.

I went back to Cover to Cover to find another book written by Greg Isles. I found Spandau Phoenix. I chose this one because there was a character I recognized. I didn't know Black Cross was a prequel. I read in the order of the story, not in the order of when they were written. I liked how that worked out.

After that I went on to read many of his other books. What I loved most about him was he was fabulous at writing in multi-genres. Nothing followed a pattern, and that's my style.

Over the years, when ever he had a new book released, I was at the store picking up a new treasure. Soon the multi-genre became a series taking place in his hometown, Natchez, Mississippi. He grew up there and currently still lives in Natchez. He's in a band with Stephen King. The band wrote a memoir, Hard Listening: The Greatest Rock Band Ever (of Authors) Tells All.

Here's a list of his books so far...

Black Cross
Spandau Phoenix
Blood Memory
Dead Sleep
24 hours
Third Degree
True Evil
Mortal Fear
Sleep No More

The Penn Cage Series:
