The “Published” Author

There were some interesting questions at the last book signing. One person asked if being from Chicago—nobody knows where Naperville is—and having my novel set in Chicago,  meant that I intended for the book to speak to the rising tide of violence in the city and if so, how?

Wonderful question! I gave as good an answer as I could given the time constraints, but the short version is, “No, but…” and “Read the book” respectively.
