Recently I asked the author about what he was reading. Dugoni's reply:
At present I’m reading Barbed Wire Heart by Martha Salinas, a writing student of The Novel Writing Intensive. It’s a coming of age story of a poor girlVisit Robert Dugoni's website and Facebook page.who is a piano prodigy in the oil fields of Texas. Her father is abusive to his wife and his four kids and her mother takes off to get help with drug and alcohol addiction leaving Starlene to care for her and her three younger siblings. The voice in this story is so authentic and real, it just breaks my heart. It is a tremendous story by a soon to be published author.
I’m also reading Bad Liar by Tami Hoag. It's a masterful mystery of a murder victim found at the end of a country road in the Bayou, hands and face missing from gunshot. The sheriff-detective, Annie Broussard is back on the job and this mystery turns out to be nothing she expects. It’s taut and tense.
