WRITERS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED ME
I enjoy a wide range of writing. However, two areas I am passionate about are thrillers / crime / mysteries and American literary classics.
For thriller writers, I enjoy Daniel Silva, Lee Child, Michael Connelly, James Rollins, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, David Baldacci, Michael Chrichton, Clive Cussler, John D. MacDonald, and many more. I enjoy stories that show me new places, teach me about new technologies, and tell the tale at a non-stop pace.
As for American literature, I am a huge fan of Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, John Steinbeck, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, and a slew of others. They stories are timeless classics that still teach to this day.
