Book Reviewer for the Midwest Book Reviews assumed my story involved cops hounding bad guys. If you want that kind of story get a Sandford book. He has some great Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport characters out there. My story took him completely by surprise. "Good Lord, your story is dark. So dark. This might be upsetting for some people. It demeans women." Well, I feel it was a story that had to be told. I remained faithful to my characters. If there are characters in my story who are not gentlemen, well, there you go. I have met men who were not gentlemen. Who treated women awfully. I was a cop in a prior life ya know. These types of fellows are indeed found lurking in my stories.
Ethel Rohan, author of ‘Out of Dublin’ on Curt Rude's writing. "Overall, great writing style. Reminds me of Rushdie: internal, emotionally complicated, and dualistic. Delivered with a sensitivity and awareness that is underrated. In one word his work is Awesome!"
