Reading The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride and I just have to tell you that it is just the cutest book. So you like the Cubs and you are from MN?

Hi Barb. Thanks so much for taking the time to contact me! Yes, I was born and raised in Rochester, MN and much of my family is still in the area. So I was a huge Twins fan growing up. But thanks to WGN, Cubs games were always on TV during the summer. I grew up in the Ryne Sandberg-Andre Dawson-Mark Grace days, but never made it to Wrigley until my girlfriend (now wife of 17 years) went to Northwestern in the late 90's. We went as often as we could when I visited. It was such fun to set a scene of Five Wishes there! Thanks again for getting in touch, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the book.

Hi Joe, Online with my book club here in Chicago on The Five Wishes... We all liked the book, but felt the ending was a little too contrived. Characters were great - plus I'm a big Cubs fan! What made you decide to change careers from sports journalism to writing a novel? Larry
