I have spent two weeks sicker than a dog. I’m finally (after three doctor visits) getting over it (yay!) but all the downtime has given me a lot of time to think up ideas. One of my ideas I’m going to start on right away.

I love talking about books, but I’m also anxious to talk about the authors on my (ever growing) favorites list, and the reasons I enjoy them. Each week (hopefully) until I burn out or people stop caring, I will put up a post on a different author I enjoy, and I’ll tell you why I like their books so much.

Whether this column survives or takes a nosedive, I want to celebrate authors, as well as books. Hopefully this will go a long way toward doing that.

Stay tuned. My first article is about Chuck Wendig.
