What are your five favorite books, and why?
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. My mom read it to me when I was a child, and it was one of her favorites. It was always something special between us. That's why I wrote a sequel, I had to know what came next.
Ready Player One. This was a unique and page turning book packed with geeky Easter Eggs from the 1980's, when I grew up.
The Thirteenth Tale. Riveting. Tightly written. Kept me up into the wee hours of the morning.
Ammie Come Home. I love anything by Barbara Michaels, but this is an essential read for ghost story connoisseurs. One of the few books I've read twice.
Beauty by Anne McKinley. Retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The best version ever. Really.
What do you read for pleasure?
Everything. Mostly literary mystery, suspense and poetry, but I read everything. Seriously. Except romance.
