Background: I love reading in general, but I always come back to thrillers. Thrillers excite me like no other genre and I try to get my hands on every thriller I might find intriguing and then review it for my folks! In whatever time reading doesn’t take up for me, I’m trying to apply my knowledge and skillset in helping AI take over the world in a safe way.
Go-To Author: Adam Hamdy - he's a terrific storyteller who knows just how to infuse high-stakes action-packed stories with warm and compelling emotional energy for a great payoff. From espionage thrillers to science fiction, he knows how to nail them all!
Author People Should Discover: Rio Youers - his prose is simply masterful. He digs deep into the flawed and deeply human characters of his stories and strikes a fantastic balance between story-driven and character-driven narratives. Once you pick up his books, you'll want to keep reading them.
Book You Would Recommend From 2023: Fearless by M.W. Craven. It's an action-packed ride with a clever premise of a badass protagonist who doesn't feel fear the way normal folks do. What follows is carnage in the best possible way.
Most-Anticipated Book Of 2024: Bang Bang Sisters by Rio Youers - the description is essentially rock-and-roll with vigilante action.... can't go wrong with that!
Favorite Local Bookstore: Barnes and Noble at Firewheel Town Center; great selection of books and delicious cookies.
Favorite Charities: Miracle Foundation is an international nonprofit organization for children. Focused on orphans in need and partnered with over 300 orphanages in India.
