No formal reviews yet, but I'm getting some good feedback from people who have read "Schlussel's Woman."

Jackie P's friend, a retired Columbia University prof, said, in part: "I like it. I think he's a pretty good writer and catches the scene, creating anticipation very well. He has obvious talent. He presents a pretty brutal scene and knows how to turn a phrase."

Herb D. commented, "..near the end, the suspense was great."

Pat's friend said, "Very good writing and story line."

Jerry called the other day to say a person she gave a copy to as a Christmas gift said "..it should be a movie. He ought to submit it to Oprah Winfrey."

Now, if I can get response like this from reviewers!

Sunday I did some genealogy and then went with my son, Mike, to my grandson, Ethan's basketball game. Poor kid. They lost again. Still, as long as he has fun...
