Authors to celebrate on World Book Day
March 3, 2016 is World Book Day! Designated by UNESCO, World Book Day celebrates those who write and illustrate books and the work that they do. If you are looking for a great way to celebrate, think about supporting a local author, a writer that you know, or try one of my favorites:
Darren Lamb – writer of Transubstantiation, The Book of Benjamin and Rebirth: A Zombie Tale, Lamb combines imagination with riveting story-telling. His work is targeted at adults and generally features graphic language, frank talk about sex and lots of gore. His characters are likable, and he tells highly imaginative tales that read like good fiction but make you think like philosophical texts, if you choose to.
Drue M. Scott – his first foray into the book world was a self-exploratory autobiographical tale Found on the Alcan; his second book is a fantasy story exploring the life of souls and what it means for a person to be divided from him or herself.
Natalie Whipple – a Young Adult writer, Whipple creates worlds of magic and superheroes. The House of Ivy and Sorrow leaves the reader wanting more about witches that live in this world. Transparent explores what would happen if everyone got super powers; the greatest of which might be invisibility. Its sequel, Blindsided, was equally riveting.
Rachel E. Kelly – while making waves on the comic convention scene, Kelly and her team have taken the Colorworld series to new heights and levels. No matter how you like your story delivered, Kelly has you covered: graphic novel, novel, series form… For a well-written tale about a teen and her terrifying experience with super powers, check out Colorworld and its sequels.
Ron Randall – For a satisfying binge-watching experience in book form, check out Randall’s TREKKER Omnibus. This pioneering graphic novel is beautifully drawn and has gripping stories. Want to know why graphic novels are great? Start with this one and you will quickly learn.
