I had a lot of fun creating the image for the header of my website. I pulled out 29 of my favourite science fiction, fantasy and horror novels from my bookcases, and then arranged them on my deck in full sun. I stood on a chair and held the camera over my head, to get the perspective I wanted. I provide an alphabetized list of these 29 books below.

Harry Potter is one of my favorite series! I read them to my boys and found them to be an irresistible read. A talented author can make a book interesting to a wide age range, which is what you have done with The Kairos Codex!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it interesting! 🙂
For my part, I am flattered to see A Time and a Place included! (I’ve also read at least sixteen of the other books… so far!)
Hey Joe, nice to hear from you. I guess I don’t need to tell you what to read next!
