Michael J. White

I've been remiss for not mentioning the fact that Jude's cousin, Mike White, just had his first novel published.  It's called "Weeping Underwater is a Lot Like Laughing."  Jude and I read it together and enjoyed it immensely.  Mike is a wonderfully talented writer and we're extremely proud of him.

It was really a thrill to stop by a local Borders bookstore and pick up Mike's book, the day it was released. 

The story, set in Des Moines, Iowa, is a coming of age tale about 17-year old George Flynn, and his first love, Emily.  Here's a link to one nice review, though there are many others.
