Being a graduate of San Francisco State University I automatically get the Alumni quarterly magazine. I usually put the magazine aside and read it when I get a chance. This month for some strange reason I decided to read it from beginning to end because I was intrigued by the articles about the number of well-known authors/writers, who have attended the university in the past, being recognized for their recent publications.  I must say I am impressed and even more motivated to continue writing my novels.

Anyway, based on the article, SFSU has made a summer reading suggestion list, which I would like to share with all of you.  So here it goes:

1. Every Day In Tuscany by Frances Mayes (M.A. 75) and one of my favorite authors.

2 Loving Frank by Nancy Horan (71-76 attendee)

3. Supergirls by Mike Madrid (B.A. 84)

4. Maid as Muse by Aife Murray (M.A. 94) my graduating class

5. Naked Drunk by Adair Lara (B.A. 76) – for sure my read this summer

6. Guest House by Barbara Richardson (Cr 84)

7. Entertaining Disasters by Nancy Spiller (B.A. 76)

8. Hold Still by Nina LaCour (B.A. 04)

9. The Defector by Daniel Silva (attended 84)

10. City of Dragons by Kelli Stanley (M.A. 06)

Hope you have a chance to read one or two of the books and please feel free to let me know how you liked them.
