Allan E. Ansorge... Every Life Needs A Little Mystery
 

Most Like Maggie” Quote of the Week:

New Quote:

“She has all the social graces, but also the vocabulary of a drill sergeant when she wanted to leave someone dazed and shaking in their boots.”

Past Quotes:

"Two months ago Maggie sold her home and lied her way into an assisted living center because they offered free broadband and she might never have to wash a dish again."

"Under no circumstances did they want her out on the streets with the handgun they knew she had hidden somewhere."

"Unlike some of her peers, Maggie not only keeps pace with the times, but for all intents and purposes, she is towing the rest of her world behind her…"

"She is everything someone who should have been a grandmother by now could be."

“She’ll give me the look, that’s what; then she’ll say, ‘I knew it, you were lying and I knew it.’”

Someone is trying to kill Carl Fletcher, and for the life of him he cannot figure out why.

After what appeared to be a hit-and-run accident that cost the life of his fiancée, the full use of his right leg, and his career, Carl seeks a new life as a charter boat captain. While he is out of town another failed attempt is made on his life.

Michael McCaffery, Carl’s ex-partner in the Sheriff’s Department of Lake County, Wisconsin, finds the department is doing little to find out who is hunting Carl. Michael and Carl’s internet - addicted mother (who has been known to carry a side arm in her shopping bag) set out to find out who wants Carl dead and stop them.

This group is joined by several volunteer sleuths who, between bouts of gun-fire and legal shenanigans discover, not only their quarry but also a few budding romances.

This first installment of a six-book series introduces characters so real you will swear you have met them somewhere before, perhaps in your family or your very own Bay  Harbour

Crossing the Centerline Review!

"Something I meant to add about Crossing the Centerline at our last writers' group was one of those nagging thoughts that don't quite have words until it simmers for awhile.


Came the dawn that what I was trying to find words for was that I haven't read Centerline before.  By that I mean that your work is so fresh, clever and page-turningly-tight that it doesn't read like the countless books we've all read that seem to be clones of each other. From plot to characters to dialogue to narrative to being merely exciting in voice, Centerline is incredible.

Thank you again (and again) for allowing me the privilege of reading it and for allowing me to keep the 'reading copy.' I thank you especially for your autograph and kind words. When Centerline and your other work is published, they'll be after me to put this treasured copy on eBay, but I won't be budging!"
