You ever get the feeling lawyers just don't get it? I mean, Bill Cosby walks. Mohamed Noor is set to be resentenced. The only thing an attorney has ever produced is an argument. Weiner represented Ted Bundy. Ever get the feeling monsters are for real?
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!"

John Sanford
John put out 'Rules of Prey' and has been on a roll since then. John produces cop stories like a cow produces milk. His cops chase down bad folks with a Dirty Harry attitude. Realistic? You be the judge. After George Floyd met Lucas Davenport I figured we'd seen the last of the Prey series. Now I'm left to wonder if folks on juries are reading about the exploits of Virgil Flowers while deliberating crimes. Gotta wonder what it'd be like to get pulled over by Lucas. Can ya imagine? 'You were doing 33 in a 30 pal. Reach for your DL slowly. You don't wanna make my day . . .'
I'm encountering snow in western Montana. Snow and ice and nothing nice is in the offing. I love Old Man Winter!

Read Away
Folks have to wonder about them folks back in Afghanistan. Reading 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' by Khaled Hosseini or 'Never a Child' by Fatima Hosseini is a start to understanding our world today. Both books are available on Amazon. Read, be entertained and educated. What more can you ask for?

We are all potential Targets . . .
It's not the person who landed in prison to serve life without parole. It's, perhaps the gentleman sitting next to you in church, who has an amazing voice. I am a graduate of the FBI National Academy and found folks love a good story. Now that we are outta Afghanistan perhaps Never a Child would be a perfect lane to understanding. Reach out with questions. I shall remain devoted to my readers.

Excited. Love meeting up with folks who have experienced my stories. Also have to admit I love the venue! I think very highly of Duluth and not because you folks enjoyed my stories. I will not have books available for sale. I'm sold out, which is a good thing I guess. Anyways, yes I'll sign every last book and answer every last question.

Little Hard on the Police . . . Ya think?
I'm discussing the books I have written and a gentleman by the name of Nate asked if I wasn't being a little tough on the police. I responded that nobody is perfect . . . the police are somebody . . . thus they ain't perfect.

'The Beekiller" all over again.
LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Someone pounded on Miguel Rivera's sliding glass door early Sunday, but when he went to investigate, no one was there. Minutes later, gunfire erupted at his neighbor's house, where authorities say a Marine vet who thought he heard the voice of God killed four people, including a 3-month-old boy.
I'd like to invite those who are left wondering to read "The Bee Killer'. Read away at Kindle Vella for free or it's up on Amazon as well as other places.
