Feature Articles
While working
as a feature writer for the Sioux City (IA) based arts
and entertainment newsweekly Weekender, I
routinely interviewed other authors for our "In Print"
section. The author interviews are not "book reviews"
per se, but rather what I call "conversations with
authors" about how his or her particular book came
about and how their work defines them as a writer.
When
the Weekender upgraded their online server some time
back, it did not transfer archives more than two weeks
old, so, though incomplete, my list of interviews does
contain those I'd managed to save to my own hard drive
before the conversion. I hope to scan the remaining
articles from the hard copies -- as well as those from
The Sioux City Journal --and make them available at a
later date.
In addition to the author interviews, here you'll also
find links to the cold case articles and other published
features.
Thanks for
stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the interviews as much
as I enjoyed conducting them.

smaller buildings, and, my hands on the trigger, yelled
something like "Freeze!" but he disappeared with only a
sidestep. I heard him call for the dog, and when a pickup
passed by, the headlights showed a young boy -- who
couldn't have been more than 10 -- holding that dog ...
I'd almost blasted a young boy the very
first night of the war."
