Ray Keating, prolific author of the Stephen Grant series and a number of non-fiction books, wrote an article, “12 Rules for Writing Commentary & Analysis” that I thought I’d share.

Absolutely Fearless
You’re going to love this. I’ve just found out about a real Lutheran hero, Raymond H. Littge, and a new book about him, Absolutely Fearless: The Life of Raymond H Littge, Missouri’s Top Scoring WWII Fight Pilot Ace, published last November. AND, to top off that, all profits from the book go to the Lutheran Heritage Center and Museum in Altenberg, Missouri! What a great tribute to Lutheran history in Perry County!
