Becoming a reader was easy, especially at a young age. I don't remember my parents ever saying no to a book that was on our shelves or on the coffee table at home. Just pick up the book and read. Escape for a few hours to some other place where other people had many more problems than you did. Becoming a diverse reader has been somewhat of a challenge. I try to read books other than mysteries set in present time but somehow I always gravitate back to the comfort of a great detective or policeman.
When Robert Parker died in January of 2010 I knew something was going to have to give. He was my all time favorite author. He said so much with just a few words. I love Spencer and Jesse Stone and Hitch and Cole so much that I still want to cry at Parker's passing.
