Raul's Writing and Reading
Raul Roqué has been a professional writer for over twenty years and has, in the past year or two, focused on fiction.
You might wonder what Raul reads in the mystery/adventure
area. If you're interested in the detective genre (hard boiled) you only need to remember
three names: Leonard, Vachss, and Pelicanos. Not that there aren't many additional
authors on his reading list including Burke (James Lee), McBain, Hiassen, MacDonald, Tapply, Randy Wayne White, and
Grafton. He also tours the adventures (Grisham, Cornwell, Clancey, Ludlum) and a ton of others. He has, like
many of you, wandered through science fiction and fantasy. Raul reads again Donaldson's Thomas Covenant books every
so often. He doesn't keep book lists and he doesn't read the books in order. He knows, it doesn't make sense.
Raul also frequents used bookstores. His life's work is to collect all of John D. MacDonald's work. His collection currently
numbers almost sixty titles.
If you'd like to know more about the Rickie Ciprian character, or more about Raul and other things, click on the tabs
above. His books are medium boiled mysteries and thrillers with the bizarre and zany things that can really mess up your life.
