I've always loved to read books, even when I was in grade school. I enjoyed the way a good novel could sweep you away from your reality and drop you in someone else's. I never had enough time to spend writing until an unfortunate illness forced me into an early retirement, but you know how the old saying goes, when fate hands you a lemon...
My favorite authors are; James Lee Burke, Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, Craig Johnson, Lawrence Saunders, just to name a few.
