"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?”

Appearance rescheduled

My reading/discussion on Tuesday, June 26, at the Kewaskum Public Library has been moved to Tuesday, July 24.

The town of Kewaskum is hosting its annual "Party on the Pavement" event on the 26th, so I figured there won't be much attendance for a book discussion at a library.

I will still have the discussion at the West Bend Community Library at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 27. I'm hopeful for a nice turnout.

Feature story

In Saturday's Daily News (West Bend), I will be featured in the weekly Library Column to preview my reading and discussion at the West Bend Community Library. The event is set for Wednesday, June 27, at 6:30 p.m.
