Scott Moon loves audio books, especially the works of George R.R. Martin, Patrick O'Brian, and Michael Connelly. He has been writing fantasy, science fiction, and urban fantasy thrillers most of his life and aims to read or listen to 100 books a year. Currently, he is a commissioned police officer serving in a street level counter drug and gang unit. Some of his most rewarding and heartbreaking work was as a detective in the Exploited Missing Child Unit. His favorite assignment is SWAT, primarily for the eighty pounds of tactical gear he gets to wear in the blazing summer heat. In 2005, he helped arrest a serial killer who had been at large for over thirty years.

I Am Shutting Up and Reading

Blue Hearts of Mars is the first book I have signed to read in the Shut Up and Read Group. This is the first YA Science Fiction novel I have read and I am enjoying it so far, which should not be surprising, since it has made it to the quarter finals of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel contest.

“Dragon squad, forward, march,” Sergeant orders. Davidson, Bastian, and other unit commanders watch.”
Scott Moon, Brothers in Arms: The Complete Series

“Perfect landing,” Major Jasper proclaimed, then laughed as if he’d surprised himself. “First assault landing on an enemy spaceship… and my third grade teacher said I’d never amount to anything.”
Scott Moon, Departure Day

“Mother Lode was a brothel, completely legal in the frontier. And it struck him. I sleep above a brothel.”
Scott Moon, Darklanding Books 1-3

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
Stephen King

“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. ’tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”
Mark Twain, The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain: A Book of Quotations

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
Philip Pullman

“The road to hell is paved with adverbs.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
