Last year, I optimistically began this blog, believing that the story about my Aunt Elsie’s mysterious death in a northern Wisconsin tavern was about to be born. But, no, not quite then.

The book is closer to publication this fall. There’s a new, final chapter, added to incorporate yet another surprising, out-of-the-blue discovery, as well as a revised title. More important, there’s a publisher. Henschel Haus, Milwaukee, is completing the design and final details, so that Elsie’s Story: Chasing a Family Mystery will finally be available later this year.
