Eckhartz Everyday



*On this day in 2017, Dave and I signed author Lee Kingsmill to an Eckhartz Press contract. His incredible novel Safe Inside was a finalist for Chicago Writers Association Book of the Year. It's still available at Eckhartz Press.




*On this day in 1965, legendary radio disc jockey Alan Freed died. Bob Shannon wrote a book about the early rock and roll radio greats for Eckhartz Press (Turn it Up), and Freed's son provided a blurb for it...

Factual, warm, affectionate, and respectful are a few words that come to mind. I know he would have been pleased by what you wrote. Bravo to you, Bob, and kudos from his son.
