Writers often get asked what other authors they read. I'm a big special ops thriller fan, so I read Brad Thor, Brad Taylor, Vince Flynn/Kyle Mills, Daniel Silva, Mark Greaney, Lee Child, Jack Carr, and Ben Coes. I'm looking forward to starting to read Jack Slater as well. I also like some speculative fiction, and read Blake Crouch, AG Riddle, and Patrick Lee. Also, I like Brad Meltzer. I love Dan Brown's stories. I like Michael Crichton and Dean Koontz. I enjoyed all the Harry Potter books, and all the Percy Jackson novels. I also read a fair bit of pop physics, from people like Richard Panek and Brian Greene.
