One author that I have read recently is worth watching. Marie Kinneer is the author of LEARNING TO LIVE AGAIN and MY SON JOHN. Both of these are excellently written. More recently she has PUBLISHED a memoir, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. You can read her blog at http://mariekin.wordpress.com/author/mariekin/
NIGHT BELLS and its sequel, SILENT SHADES by L. M. Sherwin are the first books published by a young author. If you like a bit of fantasy mixed with a good dose of allegory, read these out. Check out her work at http://lmsherwin.com/
Terry Wright has two books that I enjoyed. CLUB TRIPOLI is the story of a young airman who is stationed in Tripoli who gets into trouble trying to make extra money playing at a local club. QUIET LITTLE MEN is a collection of short stories with varying themes that show the versatility of the author.
