Bookstore

When I go into any bookstore, the first place I head is to the "A's" of the novel section. There I stand and stare at the spot where my novels will find their home before they make it into readers hands. Yesterday I was in a bookstore and saw that my novels will go between Ahern and Albom. They'll fit there quite nicely. After I'm done imagining that, I go back to the top sellers and pick a nice spot for my newest novel. Then I can finally start browsing the books. I look at the titles and the authors and think to myself, "If these people can write successful novels, then so can I!"

After I make my way through the main book section, I head over to the fantasy and science fiction shelf. I am not much of a fantasy reader, I tend to go more for action, adventure novels like David Morrell and horror such as Clive Barker. I have read novels by two modern fantasy writers: Raymond E. Feist and Joel Rosenberg. I was impressed by their characters and story lines. Other fantasy novels I've tried to read have never really interested me past the first or second chapter.

When I was browsing yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Mr. Feist and Mr. Rosenburg had written a novel together. I rarely buy brand new books (even though I would want my readers to buy my new books - hypocritical I know) but first thing on payday I want to go down and buy this book. It is part of a series that Raymond E. Feist is writing, each novel with a different writing partnership. I doubt that I will buy any of the others in the series but this one has got me very excited and I can't wait to read it. It's just like waiting for a movie to come out, the anticipation builds the closer it gets! Unlike a movie though, which is over in a couple of hours, the pleasure lasts for as long as you choose to read it.
