His books yhe "Sam Jenkins" crime series and New York crime series. So you can bet the shows going to arrest your interest. Let alone the fact he was also hired for the TV show tour of duty....

Geoff Herbach, one of the class of 2K11 stops by to introduce himself and his debut book. He teaches creative writing at Minnesota State University - Mankato, writes novels (young adult-y at the moment), radio plays (from grubby to clean), and is working on a musical.... because he likes them.

His debut novel Young Adult Novel, Stupid Fast,

described as...

“It’s rare to gain access to a male teen’s thoughts at his most vulnerable… Felton is a hero for all readers–male and female. And Herbach (who admits to growing up in Wisconsin as “both a dork and a jock”) is a writer to watch.”–

will be followed n spring of 2012 by its sequel, Nothing Special.

Formerly wrote human-interest columns for a suburban section of the Atlanta Journal- Constitution, and now author Meg Moseley stops by to chat about herself and he debut book "When Sparrows Fall"

A Book which one new York Times best selling author described as...

Rich, deep, and painfully honest. When Sparrows Fall is a lovely work of fiction that portrays a side to American freedoms that is too real to ignore
