Coming this September (II)

Middle-grade students at Milton Hershey School will receive Diary of a Milt, one of two books I wrote for the Pennsylvania school's centennial celebration during the upcoming school year. To write this book, I needed to go back in time, to my own childhood and life in 1977-78.

I wrote this book in a diary format as a 12-year-old male student at the school. During the spotlighted school year, Elvis dies, disco lives, gas prices soar, the country faces an energy crisis, and girls arrive on campus as students.

I hope the MHS students enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it! (For the record, I really don't ever want to relive that time period!)
