Show Notes for Episode 8:

This week, I thought it might be fun to talk a little about books I love. However, as I started working out the script for this week, I realized I was really telling you more about the writers I enjoy reading. So, here, for your listening pleasure are five authors which I totally love and am pretty sure you will love too.

Eric Lahti: Well, I am a huge fan of those awesome stories which are really just a roller coaster ride. I am not kidding when I say I couldn’t put this book down. It held me in its grips and refused to let me go. I was so delighted to find the entire series was this way. The action is consistent throughout and the fighting scenes are so incredibly well done, you can visualize the fighting with absolutely no prompting at all. Amazing ride from start to finish and his other books are just as amazing, btw! Check Eric out at http://ericlahti.com/

Katherine McIntyre: Author of the Take to the Skies series which consists of three books, An Airship Named Desire, A Tale of Two Airships, and The Airship Also Rises. Another book series which grabs you by the nose and pulls you through. Battle scenes which will quench a pirate’s thirst for battle. There is some romance which is handled works for both guys and gals. Don’t be scared off by a little kissing, gents. There is plenty of guns and sword fighting in world where nothing ever seems to go right. Check Katherine out at https://www.amazon.com/Katherine-McIntyre/e/B00J8U4VNU

D.B. Corey: It's not just about the action, although there is plenty, it is getting the feel of the characters push and pull. Filled wit tons of struggle, great fighting scenes, it’s a great story built on amazing characters, which those of you who have followed me for a while know, is kind of my thing.

Ronald Malfi: I think the first book I ever read of his was Little Girls. Ronald amazing is that the story line flows in an almost episodic melody. Each chapter feels like a story unto itself and that is a hard thing to master. He does such an amazing job of painting his antagonists in a way that they don’t seem threatening, but you can also tell, something ain’t quite right. And that is where the magic and the mastery of Ronald Malfi is at it’s best. Check Ronald out at http://ronmalfi.com/

Stephen King (one book in particular): Tons of people out there who want to be writers, are working to become better writers, and maybe even want to just learn about how writers do what they do for their own curiosity. 

The next book I am going to recommend is On Writing, and every serious writer I know has read it at least once. I personally have read it three times. 

The first half of the book is about his life and how he came to be who he is. The second half of the book really does have to do with things he learned from his career. These are observations and life lessons which are specific to writers.

All I will say is that if you are serious about writing, you need to pick up a copy of this book and read it carefully. There are lots of things you can learn from it.
