When the going gets Weird . . . the Weird run for office.
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!"

The Rainbow Flag Allegiance
Very 'special' murder committed in this story. The murder weapon is, well, unusual. Why not identify it? I'm a author selling books, give me a brake.

The Bee Killer
PTSD by no other name, this story is as germane today, as the day it was written. Damn shame. Hit me up with a question rewarding this story. If you've been affected, please share.

Headed to Europe.
Be really interesting to meet up with the good folks of Ukraine. These folks know, first hand, what pain and suffering is all about.

Montana
Many thanks for the folks in Missoula who took time to hear a little old author out. Onward to Wisconsin for a book signing, where I hope a hundred books will cover it. Don't want to run out, right Mr. William Kent Krueger? Thanks for the tips and words of encouragement!

Measure of Character
It would seem the best judge of character is found in disagreements. If someone gets totally off base, do they land in the Name Calling Zone or raise their voices? Who needs a lie detector? Walk away from entrenched thinking. Enough said?

Hungry Lawyers
