*On this day in 2021, Bruce Springsteen's website gave a shout out to Eckhartz Press author Ken Korber for his great children's book that featured Stevie Van Zandt. You can read that piece here, and of course, Grace's Rockin Roll Adventure is still available at Eckhartz Press.
*On this day in 2012, Windy City Reviews offered up this review of The Living Wills:
What struck me most about this novel was its sweetness. Sullivan and Kaempfer navigate issues of love, loss, and family dynamics with a care that is crucial to the success of the novel. The straightforward, unadorned prose does no work to convey the depth of emotion in the novel; that job is reserved solely for the characters, and they carry the load well. The Living Wills was a pleasure to read for Sullivan and Kaempfer’s deft characterization and effective structural choices. The rich details about Chicago only add to the novel’s appeal. You can read the entire review here.
*Yes of course we also know it's 4-20, man. Eckhartz Press even has a book that's appropriate for the occasion, written by Scott Redman and Edward Reyes, it's called: Illinois Adult Use Cannabis.
