"A Life Worth Dreaming About" reviews

Captivating!”

--- Linda

Inspiring!”

--- Scott B.

A feel good book.

--- Hannah F.

“I like the easy, accessible style.”

--- Julia Forster, author of “Shadow Jumper”

“Extremely intriguing.”

--- Lisa Lickel, author of five novels, including “The Map Quilt”

“Good straight forward storytelling and the hook at the end of Chapter 1 works well, when we think the excitement is over. ... The writing is quite good.”

--- Tod Schneider, author of “The Lost Wink”

“It was an enjoyable read. Once I got into it, it kept my interest to see where it was going.”

--- Jill Badzinski, former editor West Bend (Wis.) Daily News

“I like the story. Carl reminds me of Patrick Bateman in ‘American Psycho.’ They are both loners and have a fondness for expensive clothes. I like the description in the first chapters of his interaction, or rather lack of it with his colleagues. I think it's good.”

--- Maria Gibbons, author of “Past, Present, Future?”

National award finalist

Cool news!! I received a letter today (Monday, Feb. 6) from Penn State University's John Curley Center for Sports Journalism notifying me I have been selected as one of three finalists for the Award for Excellence in the Coverage of Youth Sports.

I will be notified in mid- to late-February if I've won or not.

If I win, I will go to Penn State in April to give a presentation on the story, receive the award and be presented $1,000.

The story I submitted was an enterprise piece about the safety and rule changes with youth and high school baseball bats and the economic impact it has on parents and baseball programs at all levels.

Here is a link explaining the award program.
