I had the pleasure of meeting Colleen Coble, Denise Hunter, and Rick Acker yesterday. I have wanted to meet my favorite authors for a while and about a year ago I started to watch for opportunities to do so. I have been a long time fan of Coleen Coble and her books! I have read almost all of them and have them in my personal library. I started reading Denise Hunter a couple of years ago, and I love her books as well. My first introduction to Rick Acker was when Colleen announced her collaboration with Rick last year. The book, What We Hide, was worth the wait! The collaboration is seamless and the story is awesome.

What is your preference, digital, audio, or a standard book in hand? The social media book groups are constantly in conversation with what counts as reading a book, and what doesn’t count.

My favorite place is the public library. In East Tennessee, there is literally a network of libraries at your disposal. I live within a short distance of four and I have a card for all of them. The  public library  is the best place to introduce yourself to a new author or a new genre. You can try them out for free! I’ll admit that I am a book dragon, a collector of books. This year I resolved myself to only collect the ones I really love, so I try to get a library copy and try them out first. I’ll admit I have failed that resolution more than a few times because I love books.
