Paul Schmit's debut novel, Atonement, set in northern Minnesota where he grew up, was published in January 2011. The intrigue begins when the small, sleepy town of West Clover Bottom is rocked when their beloved mayor and his wife are found floating in Clover Bottom lake, shot execution style.
Chief of Police, Archie Schultz, and his girlfriend, that pesky Ruth Ann Boyer, put aside their contentious relationship to solve the case. They are assisted, so to speak, by the town's characters. From his deputy Jerome Dixon, the epitome of every wacky TV sidekick, to his cousin, Dutch Schultz who gives credence to the theory of reincarnation, to Betty, the owner of the town's diner, a combination of Ma Kettle and Rosie the riveter, to Ruth Ann's uncle George, who is never far from his bourbon laced coffee.
Paul now lives in suburban St. Louis with his wife and their three obedient and well behaved cats where he is working on his next novel. Follow Paul at: www.aquestforpublication.blogspot.com |
