*On this day in 2017, Eckhartz Press author Bill Paige (Everything I Know I Learned from Rock Stars) returned a record to a library in Arlington Heights...30 years late. The Daily Herald took notice.
*On this day in 1932, Chicago Cubs shortstop Billy Jurges was shot by a crazed fan. That story, naturally, is covered in some detail in the book EveryCubEver.
*Today is also Paige Wiser's birthday. Paige, a gifted writer in her own right (formerly with the Chicago Sun Times and Windy City Live), has blurbed two books for us. This is what she said about Kim Strickland's Down at the Golden Coin...“Down at the Golden Coin” couldn’t be more timely or original, with the most eccentric spiritual guide since Clarence the Angel. Prepare to set your set your brain to spin-cycle.
