Dan Luzadder has a deep passion and great vision for the plight of future writers, authors, journalists, and investigative reporters. His keen eye for relevant news stories is integral to his impeccable charm. While a teenager, Dan got his first taste and smell of a newsroom. He says that he grew up there. It’s no wonder he has fond memories of his first job gathering information to tell a story that he could take from the beat to the streets. Taking on such an assignment and working with night cops couldn’t have been easy for the inexperienced, but when you love what you do and the feeling is right, what can you say? The Great Flood and Other Stories from River City is a must-read for aspiring novelists who need the juice of intense feelings when reading books, focusing on stories with bold subjects written to some degree for the thrill of association. Luzadder is no stranger to breaking down a story to its barest bones. When he wrote The Manchurian Journalist, there were times that he was questioned as to what authority he was speaking of and to whom should we answer when there are no models to hold in high esteem. Because Luzadder is such a gifted shapeshifter, he can pull from the cloaks of journalism, writing, investigative reporting, and authorship to give the ears and eyes of the people something that they can see, feel, and talk about. It’s no wonder that he can manage to teach others with his special brand of doing, and his developed intuition from doing this over and over again is as sharp as any Harvard graduate. Capturing a still image of well-learned assignments webbed into his mind gives Luzadder the necessary tactics to hold court when it comes to the criminal justice system, police corruption, and organizations filled with backlash as to what others think that they should believe to be the reason that we should all follow them. Dan Luzadder is on his own, and one of a kind, staying true to the word on the streets and proving time and time again that really good news is always worth taking the time to talk about.
