“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.”

Just a update
I'm still working on some additional signing dates in preparation for the holiday season. I'll provide an update once I have something set.
Otherwise, I'm getting close to the completion of my second book. My goal is to have it finished by the end of this year and I believe I'll be able to do that. It's a storyline I'm very excited about. I hope you'll like it.
Lastly, I learned today that Mequon, Wis., will once again have a bookstore of its own as Book World plans to open a store there.

Sterling North Book and Film Festival
It was a great festival from a sales and exposure standpoint. Did better this year than I did last year where I was one of the featured authors.
After the show, I left four copies of my novel at Edgerton Books & Art, 4 W. Fulton St., Edgerton, WI. It's a new and LOCAL book store. Be sure to stop in and check out my book, along with a large collection of other local authors and nationally acclaimed authors.
Right now, I don't have anything else planned as far as book signings, but hope to change that once we get closer to the holiday season.
Here is a picture of me with Dr. Patch Adams:
