Patricia G. Griffin

Laurie Halse Anderson: I like the way she nails a teenager's angst, tackling difficult subjects head on.
Anthony Horowitz: A young client suggested the Alex Rider spy series, and he was right. When I don't have time to read, I pop one of Horowitz's CDs into the car stereo for my drive to work.
Stephanie Meyer: I think it's the romance that catches me, but the way she weaves details throughout the story and pulls it together makes my head spin.

Lori Armstrong: Set in western South Dakota, her Julie Collins series is action-packed and a fast read. Oh, did I mention she's a Shamus Award Winner and member of our own Black Hills Writers Group?
Nichole R. Bennett: Nichole was one of my first critique partners. I enjoy her witty humor, both in person and between the pages. I can't wait to read "who dunnit" as Cerri and He Who Waits team up in her first novel, Ghost Mountain.?
Karen Hall: She breathes life into her characters and settings with such clarity that you hate to stop reading, even for a minute. I'm honored to be one of her critique partners for her next book, Through Dark Spaces.
Bonnie Ramthun: Talented in both adult and youth suspense novels, Bonnie is an engaging speaker for writers groups and readers alike. Check out White Gates, a Junior Library Guild award winner.

Julie Garwood: A friend loaned me one of her novels and now I'm addicted to gallant Highland warriors and spunky heroines.

Michael Bellomo: author of the Amazon.com bestseller Microbe: Are We Ready For The Next Plague?
The Bible: a great daily read and the original model for every story ever told. Like Solomon said, “There's nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9
Smithsonian Magazine: I love the global variety of history, people, cultures, and events. One of the few magazines I read.
