A Writer’s Reading Observations
Creston Mapes
Todd and Jedd Hafer
Ted Dekker
TL Hines
Mike Dellosso
What do these names have in common? They’re the authors of the last books I’ve really liked. And I’m beginning to realize that some of my favorite books all have male protagonists and are written by men. So what does that say about me?
Not quiet sure yet, but maybe that I like suspense, mystery, thrillers and a plot that moves. These authors deliver all that.
Now there are female authors like Brandilyn Collins who rank up close to the guys and I still have yet to read her latest book Crimson Eve, and Lisa Samson always delivers, but when it comes to a guaranteed enjoyable read, it seems like I need to stick with the guys!

I haven’t read any of these authors, Gina. The only one I know I don’t like is Ted Dekker; just too scary and far out. I have a copy of Nobody by Creston Mapes, so I’ll have to read it soon. I read a lot of murder mysteries and police procedurals, so I do like male authors and protagonists. Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct is one of my favorites.
