…..Steve Berry

Steve Berry (born in 1955) is an American author, professor and former attorney currently living in St. Augustine, Florida. He is a graduate of Mercer University's Walter F. George School of Law.

Steve Berry first appeared in print with his historical thrillers The Amber Room and The Romanov Prophecy in 2003 and 2004. A practicing attorney (at the time), Berry had been writing since 1990, and it took him 12 years and 85 rejections (over five different editions) to finally sell a manuscript to Ballantine Books. Berry credits the nuns who taught him in Catholic school with instilling the discipline needed both to craft a novel and to find a publisher.

Today, Berry's novels have earned spots on The New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and BookSense bestseller lists. He has nearly 11 million books in print, which have been translated into 37 languages and sold in 50 countries. With Berry's fame, he is able to focus most of his time on writing or planning new novels, teaching the concepts of writing to audiences throughout the world, golfing or spending time on the beach.

He and his wife, Elizabeth, have founded History Matters, a nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding the preservation of our heritage. To learn more about Steve and the foundation, visit www.steveberry.org.

Thanks Eadie, a well-written writer tbs days. The Luke Daniels series looks interesting.

I haven’t read any of those but they do look interesting.

>2 EadieB: Thank you Eadie. I am thinking of exploring the early books as I had not read any Steve Berry books until joining this group and I am enjoying them.

>5 Maura49: That’s a good idea as I think you would enjoy them.

>5 Maura49: There are some real treats in there.

Thanks Eadie.

You’re welcome! >8 JohnDBurke:

Thank you Eadie! Really looking forward to this group read.

>10 threadnsong: So am I looking forward to this read too!

>2 EadieB: Thank You, Eadie, ☺️.

I've read all the standalone books. They are beyond excellent.

You’re welcome! >12 Sergeirocks:

>13 Carol420: I’ve read them too! Except for The List.

>13 Carol420: What are his standalone books like?

>16 threadnsong: Much like the Cotton Malone series but without Cotton. I believe that Cotton did appear in one or two, but the stories don't feature him like the series does.

>17 Carol420: TY! They sound like good books to read when the time comes.

My favorite standalone book was The Amber Room. Loved it very much!

>19 EadieB: Mine too! I think it was the first one I read.

>16 threadnsong: I’ve really enjoyed the standalone books, and like Eadie and Carol really enjoyed The Amber Room and The Third Secret.

>21 Andrew-theQM: Thank you all for the suggestions! I'll add them to my Wishlist 😁
