My latest story titled, The People Shooter, is the direct result of having to put up with the awful violence visiting us daily. I researched it, I asked hard questions and wondered. It's just my effort to contribute to a solution for a growing problem. Enough said?
So why you may ask. I'd say it's high time the killing stops and that starts with understanding the problem. Australia did it and so can the United States. One story for people who want to understand. Who want to be heard.
The People Shooter is up for four awards! This story isn't available to readers yet. Patience my friends.
Another great read! The Last Gargoyle!
Once again, Curt Rude has drawn from his life experiences as a law enforcement officer and has written an outstanding book that I could not put down. I cannot remember the last time I read until 2:00 a.m. to finish a book! Rude has great insight that shows in the dialogue between the characters, as well a personal knowledge of the Casper, WY area. Along with the great story of law and justice, Rude inserts phrases that are unique and fitting. Very refreshing. Keep up the great work Mr. Rude. I'm eagerly awaiting your next book.
Nashville Police made us proud. They stormed the school and ended the killing. Shame we lost more lives. This is one of them moments when a picture is worth a million words.
Pleased to be headed to the Emerald Isle. I will keep readers from across the pond up to speed on the when's and where's. My new story 'People Shooter' should be available by then.
from an author. Latest run involved The Twin Cities to Eau Claire - Madison - Milwaukee and perhaps Chicago area communities. Best egg rolls in the world are near the Performing Arts Center in a place called 'The Rice Palace' in Eau Claire.
Curt, thanks for sharing. When I was a Co . .ctional Officer it was mandatory we did welfare check on inmates classified with PTSD every 15 minutes. We had alot of them. Sometimes officers neglect that and we hear about suicides and lawsuits made by grieving families.
You f- - - - -g nailed it in the Bee Killer. My thanks. Soldiers take it in the shorts and no one is ever in on the know. Thanks buddy.
A survivor of the Columbine Massacre, way back on April 20th 1999 has reached out me. I'll call him Mister D. He lives and works in Denver. He laid it out for me. I was stunned. I am currently putting together a school shooting story based on the reality of what it is we've become.
My stories involve human-beings at their worst. Seeing hopefully leads to understanding. I was a cop and had a front seat in the Arena of Murder and Mayhem. I tattle on the doers of wrong, to hopefully make the World a better place. You're invited to read away or listen to an audio book today.
I am headed to Ireland. Totally excited about the Emerald Island and look forward to hanging out with Book Lovers. Thanks so much for all the interest to have made this possible. Not sure who else is set to appear. All the thanks in the world for my representation with the Barone Literary Agency. Check It Out
This gentleman, who still lives in Denver, was confused and running down a hallway. He could hear the gun shots. For some reason he reached down for a flipflop he had lost and one of the shooters stepped into the hallway and shot over him. The round killed a friend who was behind him. Guess another book is in the works.
I make every attempt to discover in my writing why this World Situation is what it is. Thanks to the Irish readers. I could be headed to the Emerald Island!
Curt thanks for writing "The Bee Killer'. People got to understand mental pain and what PTSD is really all about. When I was a correctional officer we had to check inmates suffering from this disorder every 15 minutes. We still had suicides and faced lawsuits my man.

I can't understand why the Dirty Harry approach to law enforcement isn't seen for what it is. Fiction. You have John Sandford writing up cop stories involving Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers. This is fiction. So why do we glorify violence and forget this is make believe? Consider this response left on this blog. Your writing sucks, man. Stop leaving cards in Sandford's books, all people are going to do is find them like I did and laugh at your page. Most thriller authors don't have police 'experiance' but at least they can write without typos. :/ I get it I think. This person loves reading about fantasy cops running around thumping bad guys. My writing involves real life police in real life issues. There are five cops in Memphis who were punching first before asking questions. Now they realize Lucas was a pretend cop.
One things is for sure, this is a bigtime waste of taxpayers money. I was doing a book presentation and made it no secret that I was a cop in a prior life. I was asked about the latest mass shooting and started sharing my thoughts on the 12 being shot in Baton Rouge. Then it was like no-no that one in Monterey Park. 10 dead there. Then a lady near the front of the line waiting to have me sign a book said a couple were shot in Atlanta. A guy behind me said . . . "it real bad when a six year old shoots the teacher". Like I said, the only thing for sure, is that the car burning is a waste of taxpayer money.
I asked a couple who had a 'We Support Ukraine' sign in their yard what it meant. I mean do you put a sign up and that's it. They admitted to that being the 'long and short of it.' To think . . . America is the land of the brave. I get to thinking I need a pass out of this mess.
