Apparently, just over half of adult Americans read at least one book a year. That's terrible. Every adult should be reading at least a dozen books a year - minimum. Older adults read more than younger adults. Is that because older adults grew up with reading as the primary means of obtaining information and younger adults are accustomed to plugging their brain into a screen through which someone who has already evaluated and condensed the material can tell them what they think they should know? Or is it because reading books has become a completely foreign activity which they've never tried or from which they've divorced themselves?
I haven't been in a bookstore in quite a while. I can't remember the last time I was in a bookstore. The new books I get are almost all ebooks because they're cheaper than paper books, I can carry an entire library on my phone, I can change the print size, and they're easy to mark and search. Also, I just don't have room for more physical books. On the other hand, I don't trust the ebook supplier not to whisk my books away from for entirely arbitrary reasons.
I know. As long as there are young women, romance novels will always sell. Of course, that doesn't help me.
Here's what the Skynet predecessor says about which of my books you would enjoy:
The Tomahawks and Dragon Fire Series: This series is perfect if you love high-stakes fantasy set against real history. Expect dragon hunts, historical figures, magic artifacts, wartime intrigue, and a satisfying blend of action and character growth. The first book is a strong entry point, and later volumes maintain momentum while deepening lore.
Smoke: If you’re a fan of hard boiled detective fiction—with witty narration, period style, and clever plotting—this one delivers a satisfying standalone mystery, mixing charm and noir intrigue.
Justice in Season and Justice Resurgent: Great if you appreciate historical westerns infused with moral dilemmas, local history, and action grounded in real-world frontier life.
