And the Presale continues…
Anyone who would like to order the book ahead of time can do so through me. See details under the "Buying the Book" tab. I'm expecting to have books late July, early August at the latest. The benefit to you is that you can have me sign a copy of the book and mail it... Continue Reading →
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 have been edited
I just finished proofing the page proofs. I just need to send the corrections to the publisher, send a photo of myself that isn't hideous, do a little work on a map and then wait for the publisher to send me a cover, start some marketing and wait for the book to get published.
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 →

The bio information details my education background and career in journalism, as well as the awards I've... Continue Reading →
A few more photos
I've added a few more photos: grave site for Buddy's parents, Art and Florence Schumacher, as well as some of the coverage that the Wauwatosa News had in 1925. 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 →
Image update
I just got permission to publish some newspaper reprints from 1925 in the book. We'll have some images from the Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel. Thank you! As you can see from the News Coverage photo gallery on this site, the Milwaukee papers devoted a lot of coverage to this case.These images are really going... Continue Reading →
Update 4/15/2012
Progress update on the book: I have finished writing and have edited twice. I am in the final stages of collecting all the photos and maps and other images that are to be considered for the book. When that has been accomplished (within the next week I hope), I'll send everything to the publisher, The... Continue Reading →
