From an early age I have always loved reading novels and as my age changes so does my taste in literature. In my early 20s I read a large range of Stephen King and Dean Koontz and moved on to female writers such as Maureen McCarthy and Isla Dewar, and enjoyed lengthy historical novels written by Colin Falconer, to the lightweight female novels of Helen Townsend, to reflective novels written by Peter Shrubb, Sara Stonich and Belinda Alexandra. My all time favourite books probably are still the books I read in high school, Summer of the 17th Doll made such an impression on me as a teenager and still inspires me to live in the moment, plan for the future, learn from the past but mostly enjoy the present!
