I love to read. I always have. I also love to write mysteries that, hopefully, keep my reader guessing until the end of the book. I look for books that not only provide me with a mystery to solve but also inform me of situations and/or places I would otherwise never learn about. I have found all the books on my list to fill that need. They are just an example of the many I have found and read.
I found this book suspenseful and couldn’t put it down. I was kept on the edge of my seat as to the fate of the characters until the end.
The fact that one of the characters was a Vietnam veteran and it affected his life interested me. I also found the setting of Alaska in the 1970s interesting and informative.
In Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone, a desperate family seeks a new beginning in the near-isolated wilderness of Alaska only to find that their unpredictable environment is less threatening than the erratic behavior found in human nature.

I write psychological thrillers, and I find stories where the main character thinks they’re going crazy, particularly gripping, especially when it’s caused by (supposed) loved ones. I suspect it’s because these stories share an element of "this could happen to me." I’ve only written three books, but I’d say all of them have an element of gaslighting, probably because I sit down and think things like, What would it feel like if your best friend came back after many years, and you’re the only one who can tell it’s not her? It’s a deliciously creepy way to pass the time.
Lucy's best friend Savannah was murdered, and Lucy is suspected of having killed her. But Lucy can't remember anything about that night. Convenient? Plenty of people think so, including those closest to her. Is Lucy doing the gaslighting?
This plot is masterfully constructed, and I can’t say much more without spoilers. I loved it, and the gaslighting is out of this world.

I grew up on a fifth-generation family farm, schooled around the dining table by stories of bootleggers, hoodlums, and environmental shysters. Raised by parents and grandparents who believed in the ancient wisdom of husbandry versus the growing use of chemicals and crop dusters. Those who believed what was good for all was good enough for one. The common good versus the selfish exploitation of land, animals, and labor.

I’ve been an avid reader since childhood. I read almost all genres, but my favorite genre is fiction. I love fiction for the escape, and I love it even more when the books stay with me long after I’ve finished reading the last page. Whether it’s the amazing characters, provocative themes, or enviable relationships, most of my favorite books are the ones that I can’t stop thinking about. I’d love to give readers the same joy when they read my books and hope they continue to think about my characters long after they’re done reading.
I didn’t know much about Atmosphere before I started it, but I was hooked from the first chapter and didn’t want it to end.
While fictional, the novel hit close to home growing up in the 1980’s in Houston, Texas. There were many references to Texas at that time, and the development of the space program felt nostalgic, while also providing fascinating new information.
I loved the main characters in the book, their complicated relationship, and the struggles they faced, given the time and circumstances. The characters and their story stuck with me long after I finished the book.
