I write, therefore I'm very critical of other people's writing. I find it difficult to enjoy fiction beyond the first third of a book because I'm always dissecting the plot and noticing all the gramatical errors. The minute I detect a predictable pattern, I put the book down and never go back to it.
In recent years, my favorites have been the Harry Potter books. I stand in awe of J.K. Rowling, and her wonderful imagination. I used to love Anne Rice as well, but her books got repititious, and I quit reading them.
Today I want to introduce you to a new writer - John Twelve Hawks - with a distinctive voice and an imaginative plot line. Long may he write!
