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!"

A World full of Sleeping Pills
Isn't the person in the mirror the hardest person to lie to? How does Obama take part in The Budapest Memorandum and not miss some sleep? How do Oligarchs rip off an entire Nation and continue to enjoy a privileged lifestyle? How does death evade soul searching? I mean one kindergarten child gunned down in his/her classroom comes wrought with accountability. Only 10% of the population is polluted with Sociopaths who sleep very well without pills. What about Putin? You'd think it would take some serious pills, to knock him off his feet, after he puts in another day at the office.

Spotify
Signed a contract with Spotify for The Last Gargoyle. My intention all along was to somehow get this material in front of eyes and minds. I am convinced this story needs to be listened to by young people. Perhaps an old cop knows a thing or two . . . time will tell.

Who is Curt Rude?
A decorated cop in a former life; awarded author currently. I took a piece of every shift I worked and applied it to my stories. I listen before putting it down in a story. Readers are exposed to the savage nature of humanity where society—saturated with dollar-based ethics—headbutts the truth. While on this freakish path of discovery shade will be tossed on the wrongs we are all force fed. Amen.

Why I Write
Long before Black Lives Matter I wrote 'JusThis'. Before The Innocence Project happened I penned 'Brand of Justice'. I sat down and heard, really heard, how awful war is and then 'Never a Child' was written. I have seen what PTSD is all about. It compelled me to write 'The Bee Killer'. 'The Last Gargoyle' calls out those who bully. 'One Virus One Gift' points out the pain and suffering of racism and classism. Let's see here . . . 'The Trip' involves a retired cop finally getting it. Understanding real kindness. I was walking down main street America and heard two boys in a pick-up call two men on the sidewalk 'fags'. Bang! 'The Rainbow Flag Allegiance' was created in the flash of so much hatred. I savor writing like some enjoy ice cream. Thanks go out to my readers.

Super Long Talk
I was at a book signing in Albert lea, Minnesota and had a long conversation about humanity and the costs to belong to such an ideal. This conversation was with a man who had traded fire with Afghans in the Hindu Kush Mountains. This soldier told me nothing is as it seems. The root of a post traumatic disorder starts somewhere.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
The world seems rife with issues of War. It never ends. The Bee Killer only happened after hours of listening from those who were on a Forward Operating Base. Who actually saw human life reduced to a blood splat.
Say What?
Less pain and suffering in this world we call home please.
