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.
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!"

Thanks for The Interest
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.

Policing Done Right
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.

You can Learn a lot
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.

Two Shared Thoughts on 'The Bee Killer When Soldiers Cry'
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.

Columbine Survivor
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.
