I plough through so many books I don't always remember to. Hope you're doing well. Was interesting to read about your pen name. I'm considering it. :-)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-83914703096505642552017-06-27T11:31:49.372-04:002017-06-27T11:31:49.372-04:00Sorry for the typo.

My pen name? I created when my first publisher asked if I would be using my true name. After consulting with my husband, who was worried that our home would be inundated with media and fans, I reassured him I'd use a pen name. I considered a few suggestions but, in a moment of frustration, I thought that first book will either fly or sink like a stone. There was only one name to chose - Feather Stone. When Forbidden was published, I figured no one will buy a crime suspense/thriller written by an author named 'Feather Stone' so I shortened it to F. Stone. Regarding reading goals? Intention is so powerful. Set your intention, make an effort, and you'd be surprised at the magic that follows. :)F.
