Great Books by Super Authors

I will often decide to read a new book based on someone’s recommendation. If you’re the same, read this post.

Because of my writing experience, I’ve become friends with a group of remarkable authors. You might not be familiar with their books, but be prepared for great reading in a variety of genres, both in fiction and non-fiction.

I highly recommend these authors and their books because of the flair they have for telling a story, or in the case of non-fiction, explaining a place and activity.

Here are my top picks.

Robert Sigsby is the author of three books including his latest, Lefty’s Tavernacle, a story about a bar/church in a rough Oregon fishing village. His stories are flavored by his love of the sea and his time on the Pacific Northwest Coast and the islands of Micronesia. Find all his books on Amazon on his author page or his website.
