Come Meet Local Author Bill Rockwell
Come Meet Local Author Bill Rockwell
Come meet local author Bill Rockwell who will be here on Tuesday, October 25th at 1:00pm. to present his book Not Privileged to Know. Reviewed by Reader John Ihn “Not Privileged to Know has an exceptional plot delivered in an out of the ordinary writing style. The author has two styles in this tremendously interesting story. His in-depth perceptions of what the characters are thinking and his use of specific developmental conversations give added insight into a very unique and exciting plot. I would highly recommend it to any lovers of crime or mystery novels.” Books will be available for signing.
