Perhaps the biggest reason that writers fail, the reason that ties in with all of the others above, is that too many writers compare themselves to others. Instead of developing their own voice and style, they try to emulate someone else who is doing well . . . If ya read just one of my books (which come with a money back guarantee) you'll agree.

When is Enough-Enough?

It'll have to start with serious discussions and then change is in order. Our government is in place to keep us safe. They have failed. Time to hit the brakes on thinking it'll never happen to us. Charlie Kirk may have supported guns, but, didn't want to die one would think. He had children, a wife and his health. He stood for guns, until one gun laid him low. We have to learn what these acts are

Curt Rude Many thanks to my Narrator Nikki Delgado of London. Great job on providing the audio for 'The Bee Killer'. These works couldn't have happened without the efforts of RLW Editor Services. Special thanks go out to Robert Wangsness of Design by Word. Benet Stoen did what I obviously felt was outstanding cover designs. Gary Anderson, recognized as a top word wizard of Iowa, put up with a lot to insure we got it right. Actually everyone listed here did. Thanks again.

Curt Rude Well dear friends, if interested, and you haven't read them yet, please contact me and I'll have a copy of 'JusThis' and 'Brand of Justice' headed your way. I'm in a quest to smash the notion that nothing in life is free!!!
