"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?”

Update from Edgerton Book Festival
It was a fun event to be a part of. I got the chance to meet a lot of great and talented Wisconsin authors and met a lot of people and tell them about my book. While my sales weren't where I hoped they would be for the festival, it was still enjoyable and neat to be a featured author as well.
Thank you to all those who organized the book festival for allowing me to be apart of the event.
Up next? Twin Cities Book Festival in St. Paul, Minn.
