It’s all in the hands of the publisher now
Final page proof corrections have been sent to The History Press. A selection of mighty fine author photos that my wife took have been sent. A much better and more readable map of 1930 Wauwatosa is there, too. I'm done ... unless they tell me I messed something up. Now it's marketing time (please buy... Continue Reading →
Page proofs in my hands
It didn't take long at all for me to get page proofs sent to me after returning the manuscript back to The History Press. I've now got in my grubby little hands the book as it will appear in print. This is extremely groovy (a 1960s/1970s term that needs to seriously make a comeback). In part,... Continue Reading →
Production update (I’ve got the manuscript back)

A few more photos

The News' coverage was much more toned down compared to the coverage that the Milwaukee papers provided on the case. In fact, the News only ran... Continue Reading →
And yet more pictures
I've got all sorts of images I can put on this site. I've already added some of the houses that Buddy Schumacher and his family lived in, as well as some of the sights one might see in The Village, Wauwatosa's downtown area. There's much more, a lot of which I'll have to scan in.... Continue Reading →
