Writing Tips, Tools & Inspiration for Aspiring Authors

Literary Fiction I Love 

There are books you admire and books that rearrange your DNA a little bit. The ones below did that to me.

This isn’t some exhaustive “best books ever written” list assembled to impress people at dinner parties. These are novels I got lost in.

Recommended Reading List
