This month the book I’m reading is Z: A Dystopian Millennium Novel, by my friend and long time mentor Marnie Pehrson Kuhns. Marnie writes a lot of non-fiction and fiction books, and I’ve read a few of them. This one is different though. Most of her fiction books are historical fiction based on experiences of her own ancestors. She has written historical fiction around the revolutionary and civil war times. This is her first novel about the future and I even recognized her as the great grandmother of the hero in the story.

I actually resisted reading this one, because I’m not crazy about futuristic novels. But once I started reading it, I didn’t want to put in down. My plan was to read one chapter each morning. Since I don’t have much time for reading these days. But I haven’t been able to read just one! Each time I pick up the book, I have to read 2 or 3 chapters and spend a little more time reading than planned.

I’m halfway through the novel and can’t wait until I get the chance to read the next chapter! You can get the kindle version on Amazon* for $3.69 and here’s a video trailer for a little more about the book…
