The_Living_Wills_cover-280

On Friday morning Eckhartz Press author Brendan Sullivan ("The Living Wills") returned to his alma mater, Marist High School, to speak with their Chicago Literature class. The class has been assigned "The Living Wills" as part of their curriculum.

Eckhartz Press co-founder David Stern accompanied Brendan to the event. He took pictures and filed the following report...

"Shrugging off painful memories of soggy tater-tots, author Brendan Sullivan visited Marist High School on Friday morning. Brendan talked to the Chicago Lit class about The Living Wills and the techniques he and co-writer Rick Kaempfer used to write the book. The students were engaged, polite and even stayed awake for the entire 1 ½ hour class. Brendan was such a hit that they gave him the President’s parking space. Thank you to Marist High School."

In all seriousness, as thrilled as the kids were to hear Brendan speak (and he's very good in front of an audience), I'm sure Brendan was even more excited. It's an honor to return to your alma mater under these circumstances. Congratulations to Brendan.

The Living Wills paperback is available at Eckhartz Press, and the e-book is available on all e-book formats, including the Kindle.
