Guess I'm about to jump the creek. Looking forward to hanging out with readers in Germany-Austria-Italy and Spain. Start thinking about the questions now. First question is usually which story I wrote that I like the best. Also, am excited about hanging with some of Europe's best.
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!"

True is Stranger than Fiction
And so it is, all my stories regard suffering and the smash up of this thing referred to as the human experience. Sad but true. Look and wonder. Is this necessary?

John Grisham 'Framed' Curt Rude 'Brand of Justice'
What do these books have in common? False Arrest-Prosecutor Misconduct-Wrongful Convictions. There you go. Read and be safe.

Hunting
Looks like I'm headed to Superior for some agate hunting and a book signing. Hit me up if you want a presentation between said city and, say, Eau Claire. By the way, William Kent Krueger had more used books for sale than yours truly. Perhaps it has something to do with his selling millions vs my sale in the neighborhood of a hundred thousand!

Marquette Tomorrow
Hope you can make it. Let's been seen and heard. Arriving with thirty-six books. Otherwise my stories are located on Amazon, libraries and online sites of your choice. Thanks in advance for my book club friends. Raining today. We need it. Right?

Runaway
Need a place to run to? Why not Steamboat Springs? Rodeo to hiking. They have it all. Besides, it's about balance. Too much writing (in my case) and not enough of hanging out isn't really advised.

Did Love Kill him?
"I like the taste of beer, its live, white lather, its brass bright depths, the sudden world through the wet brown walls of the glass, the tilted rush to the lips and the slow swallowing down to the lapping belly, the salt on the tongue, the foam on the corners." Dylan Thomas

Energy Crisis?
Can you imagine what the world would look like without Vetts and F150's? Does this make sense? I was told we need to fuel the economy to make the world go round. I'm thinking I'd drive this thing around before a Caddy . . . but we all have our opinions.
