Nita Charlton-Gomes is a respected Huntington Beach, California, entrepreneur who leads HB Business Consulting Services & Solutions and provides a host of strategic development as well as financial statement preparation services. Nita Charlton-Gomes is an avid reader who particularly enjoys the works of Dean Koontz, some of which take place in actual neighborhoods she is familiar with.
Interviewed by the New York Times in 2014, the author of The City described himself as a longtime fan of Charles Dickens for his detailed descriptions of even minor characters as well as his sense of humanity. Other favorite authors include Cormac McCarthy, and Koontz is also drawn to the classic Travis McGee series of John D. MacDonald.
Dean Koontz noted that he reads a wide range of genres, reflecting his own proclivities as an author. His works span comedies, love stories, suspense, and the spiritual, with books such as Odd Thomas considered pioneering cross-genre novels. Koontz notes that he is really a throwback to authors such as John P. Marquand and Mark Twain, who existed before genres got too firmly set.
