Hello Everyone,

I'm excited to join BookTalk, which I discovered only recently during an internet search for others who share my obsession with reading.

I'm a male reader and live in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.

I'm a big fan of mysteries (especially the "gold-standard" authors: Sir Arthor Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie's several detectives), thrillers (James Patterson, James Rollins, Michael Crichton), classics (especially Charles Dickens--my all-time favorite author--and Jane Austen), and select non-fiction, primarily of a science or educational bent (Steven Pinker, Mary Roach).

I started writing a series of mystery/thriller books last year. It's a blast and a great change of pace from other life activites as it lets me explore my interest in these genres in a whole new way.

I'm particularly interested in interacting with other folks who share my literary interests. I'll be looking into forums on my favoriate genres in the near future.

Cheers,

Steve
