Next week will mark the first anniversary of the release of The Tangled Web. I'm please to say that the book is still selling and still getting noticed. Most recently, a review was posted in my home town of Bay City, Michigan, written by Dave Rogers.
I don't have any immediate plans to go back to Chicago, but I'm working on it. I would like to spend a week or two as soon as the snow is gone. We'll see what happens.

Thank you Chicago
I had wonderful time in Chicago last Sunday and feel compelled to say thank you to the City of Chicago, to the Irish American Heritage Center and to all the people who attended the event. We had a good turnout, and the people who were there were interested and supportive. The IAHC hosted a small party afterwards where they served a wonderful luncheon and gave me an opportunity to meet with their members and talk about The Tangled Web and share some of their own stories.
Peg Reid of the Irish American Heritage Center was a gracious host and her husband, Joe, fixed the best cup of tea I've ever had.
One of the things I learned was that there is still a great deal of interest in the Chicago Outfit and their links the Chicago politics.
Stay in touch and we'll learn together about the late breaking news from the best city on the planet.

Sunday March 9
I hope to see you all at the Irish American Heritage Center this Sunday. It should be a glorious day in Chicago. I'm expecting sunshine and 75 degrees. (I can expect that can't I?)
I'm told that I'll have an hour to speak, plus time for questions, so please bring your questions and hopefully we'll all have a good time. I plan to talk about Dick's relationship with Sheriff Richard Ogilivie and how they came to work together.
Also, as this event is hosted by the Irish American Heritage Center, I'll be talking about Dick's Irish heritage and how this played into his relationships in the Outfit.
Following the event there will be a reception where I'll have books for sale and will be available for further questions. Hopefully we'll have a chance to hoist a pint or a spot of Jameson's.
See you there!
