ABOUT

Meet Author CJ Kudlacz

A third-generation military kid, C.J. Kudlacz grew up all over the USA and strives to incorporate this atypical perspective and sense of place into his characters and settings. He has worked as a bartender, a stage and voiceover actor, and has traveled the world flying jets for both military and civilian organizations – all outstanding ways to find and tell stories. A 1997 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, he also has a M.A. from the University of Oklahoma and is a 25-year Air Force veteran. He lives in Utah.

"Watching"

Neither of us can watch this one at the moment, but see it as soon as you can. I was lucky enough to catch the premiere at South By Southwest.

Veteran produced, written, directed and performed, ZOE is a hard-hitting, hilarious, and heartbreaking look at veterans' issues, suicide, Alzheimer's disease, and more.

Starring Sonequa Martin-Green, Natalie Morales, Ed Harris, and Morgan Freeman. See my latest update for a full review. Call your vets!

A grieving ex-military detective confronts his past after an investigation near his alma mater leads to a haunting encounter with a long-lost love.

She focused, whispering just above the wind. “It’s less difficult, now that I’m just here. Stronger. But there’s still rules. Hurt. Places I can’t go.” Pain flickered across her face again, and she tossed her head a little, relaxing. “I’m sorry, Danny. It’s not so easy for me.”

There wasn’t time, not enough dreams for all the things I wanted to ask her. Even then, I doubted I would make sense of the answers. And not one of them could possibly change anything.

A TIMELY FROST
