--- 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?”

Career Day and talking to kids
Today was maybe the best of them all. In the previous two years, I had about 50 kids total sign up to want to hear my story. This year, the number was over 200!
I was paired with this couple who run a photo business out of their home in Hubertus. What a nice couple. The girl, Amy, was a UWM grad from Hartford and played soccer. But get this, she has the same birth date as me!
Probably the best part is when I said when I get free food when I go to Packers' games, a bunch of eyes lit up like Christmas lights :)
Priorities right?
