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!" Check out my new site . . . www.curt-rude.com

Fortunate
Thank you for reaching out about The Passionate Jihadist—it looks interesting! If you will send the first five chapters as a word document or PDF email attachment in reply to this message, we will review and get back to you in two to three weeks with our thoughts.
I guess I could consider myself fortunate to have Literary Agents expressing interest in my third novel. Fingers crossed! I'd love to make the most out of the opportunity to work with industry professionals.

War or Peace
Man . . . once just once . . . can't we consider an issue like this from every point of view. I feel like I'm locked in the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest story but at least I tried. Dammit I tried.

The Bee Killer
My latest effort at story-telling is called The Bee Killer. Beta Readers have been loving it. The Passionate Jihadist has been winning awards including The Society of Women's Readers Award. I gotta say it's been a great run to date!

#1 The Passionate Jihadist
by Curt Rude
Visit Curt's pages: curtrude.com
Read a sample of The Passionate Jihadist
Judge's comment: “The Passionate Jihadist is a very engaging look into the world of a young Afghani boy as he navigates the dangers of the world around him both in the specific sense of the war-torn country he lives in and the more universal dangers readers can relate to in regard to bullying and resisting authority.”

Milwaukee Police vs Sterling Brown
Six things here . . .
1) Why so many months for the video to come out?
2) Why don't the cops turn off the camera before the beating?
3) How many lies were givin' to explain the beating before the truth (video) came out?

3) How many lies were givin' to explain the beating before the truth (video) came out?
4) How many cops it take to beat a guy properly?
5) They know this guy had enough money to make an issue out of this?
Five Issues, not six, just kidding!

Bassem Youssef
In his book 'Revolution for Dummies' Mr. Youssef writes . . . "I interviewed people at Trump rallies who believe that there are at least thirty-five to forty ISIS training camps inside the United States, all sanctioned by the black Muslim president." Is Obama a Muslim?

Safer to Soldier than be a Student
29 murdered in U.S. Schools so far in 2018 . . . 13 killed in the Military. Not much to report on school murders in the Middle East. The Taliban struck and killed 141 in Pakistan a couple of years ago. Man . . . we live in a pathetic time . . . when young men can scoot into schools and kill unarmed boys and girls. Ain't no honor to be found here.

Passion of The Jihadist
One has to wonder what the inner story is for such devotion. Khamzat Azimov screams Allah akbar and stabs five. What would you do in the name of your faith? Abraham was preparing to knife his son if you happen to believe the Bible. Does the stabbing of five individuals please Allah? I haveta believe Understanding is found by 'Seeking to Understand' before 'Attempting to be Understood'.

JusThis Anyone . . .
ST. PAUL — Minnesota lawmakers are on the verge of passing legislation to make it illegal for police officers to have sex with people in their custody.

Firefighters, Police and You name it . . . all long to be referred to as Heros
With the daily degradation of the word 'HERO' I figured it was high time to point out a real one -Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu.
