"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?”

Some news and thanks
I'm excited to announce that my wife and I are nearing the purchase of our first home. We can't be more excited for the new chapter in our life.
Have been feeling blessed lately with the great friends, family and support that I have, in addition to finding out I will be a dad in March and will have a home where I can finally lay some roots.
Thank you to all of you!

What a thrill
The folks at the school said if I could speak for about 30 minutes that'd be plenty good enough. It wound up going for an hour. I had so much fun answering so many questions from the kids. They thought it was so cool to be a sports writer and an even cooler to be an author.
The best part about it is when some of those kids, grades 7-9, came up to me afterward and said thank you for coming and that they really enjoyed meeting me and listening to me talk. I had a smile on my face the rest of the day.
What a thrill.
