Background: Virginia born, South Carolina is where I call home now. 14-year Navy veteran with a coffee and golf addiction. I try and read at least 15-30 minutes everyday.
Go-To Author: My more-recent favorites for go-to authors are Jason Kasper, Simon Gervais, and Matthew Quirk.
Author People Should Discover: Isabella Maldonado and TR Hendricks had phenomenal debuts in 2023, be on the lookout for more from them in 2024.
Book You Would Recommend From 2023: My favorite book of 2023 was The Bullet Garden by Stephen Hunter. The battlefield chess match that Earl Swagger must navigate and the historical value make this one my favorite of the year.
Most-Anticipated Book Of 2024: TR Hendricks and his second novel, The Infiltrator. Also, I can't not mention Don Bentley and him taking the reins of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp.
Favorite Local/Indie Bookstore: Main Street Reads in Summerville, SC and if I am ordering out of state I usually go with The Book Dragon Shop in Stanton, Virginia.
Favorite Charities: Compassion International advocates for children, committed to Jesus Christ in all that they do. Food for the Hungry seeks to end ALL forms of human poverty by going to the hard places and walking with the world’s most vulnerable people.
