Happy Holidays!

It is amazing to think that Christmas is less than a week away! I hope you all have your shopping done and making memories with your family and friends this holiday season.

Like most holidays this is a busy, but exciting time! I was interviewed by a talk show host from Sioux Falls, ND this week. It's great to speak to people from all over the country about my series and my passion for books.

Keep an eye out for my new book, Shiner's Return. It is on its way to be published in January 2010. What a great start to the new year!

Feel free to look me up on facebook as well! I would love to be your friend!

Happy holidays!

New Face Book Friends

To my new Face Book Friends. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We surely did. In fact, we had two big dinners and watched a whole lot of football. Our Kansas Teams (KSU and KU) will not be going bowling this year which is pretty depressing, but there's always next year. I have a son-in-law who is a great cook and he did most of the cooking for Thanksgiving. His stuffing was amazing. Well, here we are now thinking about Christmas. Time goes by too quickly. Take care.

New Face Book Friends

A warm hello to all of my new Facebook friends. I hope many of you like to read. I like to read as well as write. I have been a published author for over 30 years and have enjoyed some success. I have had 19 books published so far. I also like to read. I just finished reading two great novels by Ken Follett. The first one was about 1,100 pages and titled Pillars of the Earth and the sequel was World Without End and had 1,100 pages. I read that one twice. I also love football and spend most of Sat. and Sun. watching it during football season. Please visit me at www.nolancarlson.com Take care. Nolan

Good books for reluctant middle school readers

This series is great for reluctant middle school male readers. I have been told that by teachers, parents, and the kids themselves. They seem to love the series and put down the remote on their video games.
