"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?”

No. Not on Gilligan's Island. I spent 3 hours working on book number two, still untitled at this point. But 7,000-plus words later, I've got an interesting story going!
