Steven James

Dear Readers, 

It is not often that I get to host a New York Bestselling author here in the store.  Now that doesn't mean our store hasn't hosted its fair share of them, just that in ficiton they are harder to get here.  But this coming Friday night Steven James will be in our store at 7:30 pm. 

He is one of my favorite authors because of his fiction books.  The Patrick Bower series is one that I recommend over and over again to people who are looking for that really good thriller.  There are not many books that keep me up at night out of sheer terror of the bad guys, but Patrick deals with some really ugly characters and I did lose some sleep over them.  Of course only until Patrick came along and solved the crime so I could sleep again.

I don't know what struck me most when I met Steven the first time he was here in the store.  That he is such a great story teller or that he does not look like someone who would write thrillers.  He has such a passion for telling and writing great books that comes through in everything he talks about.  It is something he lives everyday.  He teaches workshops on it, he leads weekends for new authors wanting to learn the craft of storytelling.   He encourages, supports and pushes fellow authors to write better and better.  It is no less than what he requires for himself. 

If you want to hear the heart of a true storyteller, come join me here at the store on Friday November 17th at 7:30 and meet Steven James.

Happy Reading
