In the beginning!

Hello, my name is Tina and I love to read. Sometimes, I’d have to say that I am a reading fool! I have loved reading the Twilight series and have read those books several times. You could definitely call me a “Twilight Mom.” A while ago, after becoming immersed into those books, I met an author at a local Costco named Phillip Jones. I must admit that the reason I eventually bought his book was because I thought he was flirting with me that first time I met him. (I have been married for 10 years so any man that talk’s to me that isn’t my husband is flirting.) I did not purchase his book initially, but that first time I met him he asked me to at least go home and read the first chapter of his book on his website. That evening, I read the chapter online and felt like I was missing out on something.
Because of the feeling of missing out, I continually followed where Phillip was going to be next on his website for a while so that I could meet him again and purchase the book. Eventually, Phillip returned to the same Costco so I made sure to meet him there again and pick up his book.
When purchasing the first book, Phillip suggested to me to buy the 2nd book as well because when I finished the first one I’d be disappointed I didn’t have the 2nd one right away. I only bought the first book. I took it home and finished the book in three days. I didn’t have the second book yet and yes, I was disappointed and felt like I was missing out on something again.
As quickly as I could, I obtained the second book. Four days later I had completed that book. The writing style and the intriguing story of these books definitely captivated me. Based on my love for books and wanting to get the word out for a great new author and series, I decided to create this website. I want this website to serve as a place for other fans to come and discuss the stories and learn what is coming up next in the series with updates.
This is a great fan page! I, too, met Phillip at Costco some time ago. I was very impressed with his down to earth attitude and friendliness. I bought his book the first time we met and did the same as you – devoured it!
I have met Phillip several times since and my first impression of him as a person and an author, while starting at a very positive position, has only improved. This man con draw you into his dream and it nearly becomes a reality!
The Worlds of the Crystal Moon have taken the top spot in my favorites list. This man is a better writer than many of the top authors I have read. He beats Terry Brooks and even Tolkien! (Tolkien is too wordy in between the action.)
I have read fantasy for twenty-six years and this is my all time favorite!
Go Big Dog!
It sounds like he meets a lot of people at costco. lol I to met him there. I was looking for a new book for my 14 year old daughter. who knew I would also enjoy this book if not more than my daughter. I think I became a fan of the book just from meeting ‘Big Dog’ He was able to in his book draw you in and made the story come to life. I know there were times I could imagine a character come around the corner. This book has made its home on my top shelf! I love it, and can’t wait for more!
