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!"

Aren't ya a little hard on the police?
Was asked this, this week. Look . . . Police are people, no one is perfect, thus police ain't perfect and I call 'em out for their imperfections. You know. Little things like rape and murder. After all . . . we can't all stick our heads in the sand.

My story 'Brand of Justice' is on sale at a Bookstore near you.
- For more than 20 years, Ledell Lee maintained his innocence in the brutal murder of Debra Reese, but he was executed in 2017.
- Work from the Innocence Project and ACLU revealed serious flaws in his criminal trial, as well as a lack of DNA evidence tying him to the murder.
- Earlier this week, new DNA evidence taken from the murder weapon revealed the genetic material of a different man.

Mike Lindell
This guy delivers a spot on elevator pitch. I mean, you can score a decedent pillow for well below the sixty or so bucks that this guy sells his pillows for. I asked a man in sales how he does it. Near as he can figure, people buy the pillow and then feel stupid for being duped . . . so mums the word.

Thumpin' a Lady with Dementia . . .
and now a Grandmother? Then we have to watch the officers laughing about it. Man our police officers have to learn to respect the body cam if they wanna rebuild their brand. I wrote two stories about officers and how power corrupts. I pointed out the need to respect technology. This from a former cop. Can't say any of this really surprises me.

Oh where has Lucas Davenport gone?
Gotta wonder. John Sandford penned a ton of 'Prey' stories about the Dirty Harry kinda policing. Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport rolled around Minneapolis teaching bad guys a lesson. Then reality showed up. Now what's gonna happen? Perhaps have vigilante justice how up in the final 'Prey' story. Have demonstrators string Lucas and Virgil up.

Fell in Love
Spent time in Montana last week and fell in love with a book. Isabel researched this incredible story and laid waste to the dark side. If the doers of evil could be compelled to be exposed to this material the world would be a better place. Of course you can lead a horse to water but ya can't make him drink.

This Just In . . .
I've written three novels. Four short stories. Won contests. Been boycotted, had my life threatened and lost countless arguments with my editor. The infamous Robert Wangsness. Agents have loved my stuff and I was fortunate enough, to get to pick and choose one of 'em. I had youngsters want to watch me write to share the creative vibe. This is just a warm up by the way. I mean . . . When the Going gets Tough, the Tough get ta Writing. What's Next? Tomorrow never knows and I wish you a happy birthday if it's this weekend.
