A friend, and fellow Milwaukee area blogger, Michael James Caughill (a.k.a. Elliot Stearns) has written a book, titled The Abortionist. Michael had just received his first shipment of books Tuesday afternoon, before our monthly Drinking Right event and brought a few copies along. I was able to get my hands on a copy, and even got it autographed, as long as I agreed to never mention the book if I didn’t like it… So I will have to end this post right here and now…
NOT! I loved this book!
This novel is about a serial killer, right here in our own Milwaukee. Elliot Sterns is a former cop that was paralyzed when shot by a suspect, he is now working as a freelance journalist and… yep, a blogger! Elliot teams up with his old partner to track down the killer, called The Abortionist. Since this book is based in Milwaukee, those of us that are Brew-Town Cheese Heads will be able to track the Milwaukee area land marks as they work their way through town. It is also interesting to see how Michael works in his blog, From Where I Sit, to the story.
I know that with a title like The Abortionist, you probably think it is written for one side of the abortion issue or the other, but it really isn’t. As Michael says, the book isn’t pro-life or pro-choice, it’s pro-thought. “It’s not a choice, it’s a must-read.”
I won’t give anything away, but this book was entertaining and easy to read. I recommend it to anyone that wants an entertaining crime novel, even if you don’t live in Milwaukee 
So get over to Amazon and order your copy today, you can have it to read by the weekend.

This may be my very first Kindle purchase for my iPhone. At $4.99 it’s practically impulse-buy worthy!
