Ah, the sun is out, and the livin’ gets a little easier.

I love the summer to take the time to read a lot more, and to write.  

I’m always getting to know more indie authors, particularly fellow flash fiction writers. But I also like to read some of the big names too.

Here’s a few authors on my reading list:

Alexander McCall Smith (love the comfort of simple wisdoms; and the No. 1 Ladies Detective series, best red with a cup of red rooibos tea!)
Elizabeth Gilbert (can read Eat, Pray, Love until I just can’t read it anymore)
Robert Ludlum (classic! and nice to balance out the calmness)
Orson Scott Card (yes, classic sci fi, thanks E, you know who you are)
Daniel H. Wilson (Robopocalypse – a must read again for our times)
Michael Christie (brilliant, realistic, character driven author who writes about the down and out in my hometown)

What are you reading this summer?
