BILL BATES

Cal, I want you to know that I just finished reading your latest novel, THERE’S A TORTOISE IN MY HAIR. It took me back to our days in Newark when we were just starting our lives as young adults in the 1960’s and 70’s. It was definitely a time of growth, exploration, discovery, and wonder, The chapters carry the reader through Cam’s life as a son, athlete, husband, professional, and father, all with a fascinating candor and the ability to unselfishly share his most personal feelings and experiences. The episodes I enjoyed most were great examples of not only the humor of the era but also the angst. You have an inquisitive mind and shared it so generously. I loved THERE’S A TORTOISE IN MY HAIR from cover to cover – now available on Amazon.
