Douglas Preston is best known for the thrillers he co-authors with Lincoln Child. He has also written a novel called Jennie, and several non-fiction works, including Cities of Gold and Talking to the Ground.

In the early 1990s Preston and Child teamed up to write suspense novels; Relic was the first, followed by several others, including Riptide and Thunderhead. Relic was released as a motion picture by Paramount in 1997. Other films are under development at Hollywood studios. Preston and Child live 2,000 miles apart and write their books together via telephone, fax, and the Internet. Dance of Death, their latest collaboration, will be released in June.

Christine is co-captain of the Reader’s Club Team and manages the Reader’s Club database. She is a dedicated reviewer of novels for both adults and teens. Here is what she has to say about books, reading and reviewing:

I realize that it’s a cliché, but reading really has been an important part of my life since I was a kid. We always had books in my house, and what we didn’t have we could get at the library.

I primarily read fiction because I enjoy stepping into someone else’s life, sharing a character’s experience, becoming part of their world. My friends would say that I read “fluff,” and they would be right. After years of being in school and reading various scholarly works, I’m looking for books that help me escape.
