Recently I participated in an event, at a library near Chicago, with 30 other authors.
This was about an hour before the event started
A woman came to my table who works as a reading specialist in their public school system. After she saw the way that the interior of my books were laid out, making them easier to read, she purchased several because she already knew that they would help her students. We talked for a long time.
If you have children or grandchildren in your family or circle of friends - especially boys - who aren't excited about reading, I'd encourage you to do what this reading specialist did. Get some of my action-adventure & mystery books, try them out, and see what happens. Many have told me that these books were the key to unlocking a love of reading in their kids. And kids say that reading them is like being in an exciting movie.

I certainly agree that we need to try new things to get boys to read! I think stories need to be both educational and exciting to fit boys' requirements for a good read. It sounds like you are a great influence on boy readers!
Thank you Linda, I appreciate that.
