Background: Empty nester trying to get as many book babies into the world as possible.
Go-To Author: The Orphan X Series by Gregg Hurwitz is something that I always look forward to. Whatever and whenever the next book in this series comes out I will literally take a day off to read. I found the first book in the series at a thrift store and the rest is history.
Author People Should Discover: Robert Dugoni is actually the author that probably started this obsession back up when I read The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell. I think that is a book that should be mandatory reading. If you ever read it you will never forget it.
Book You Would Recommend From 2025: My top book from 2025 is Welcome to Cottonmouth. Imagine a town full of retired assassins and assets with secrets, skill and arthritis. I couldn't get enough of this one.
Most-Anticipated Book Of 2026: All the Little Houses by May Cobb was my most-anticipated pick for 2026 and for good reason. It is devious, delicious and full of drama. A totally over the top binge read. May Cobb is an auto read author for me.
Favorite Local/Indie Bookstore: A Likely Story in Midway, Kentucky and Carmichael's Bookstore
Favorite Charities: The Wounded Warrior Project.
