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.
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!"

Bumped into a Columbine Survivor
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 Wrote it for The Sufferers
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.

Memphis Mess
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.

Confusion at Book Signing
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.
