· “A well-spun yarn about lust and lawmaking in the Land of Lincoln.â€
(Don Cooper, publisher, Galesburg Register-Mail, Galesburg, Illinois)
· “In politics and thus government things often happen not because of party or principal but rather because of relationship. Nowlan’s book does a great job through his story telling of illustrating how relationships can cross party lines, regional interest and even time. Relationships born of a simple act of kindness a shared experience, a cruel snub or an outright betrayal can manifest themselves in ways little understood by the public and not covered in the civic books but they are all at the heart of the Editor’s Wife.â€
(Zack Stamp, Zack Stamp Ltd., Springfield, Illinois)
· “Editor’s Wife is one of the best reads I have had in years. It takes me back to the 60’s and the years my husband, Abner, spent in Springfield. It all rings true—the horse trading, the hijinks, the combination of doing good and doing well that infects the legislative body. Ab and I enjoyed the trip back to the “good old daysâ€.

Rich,
I don’t blame you for helping your friends. I just had a discussion with a friend about my career in the political arena. My friend actually told me that my career depended on ‘relationships’ in the political environment. Sounds like a good book - and at a perfect turning point in my life.

Rich, I am glad to see your plug for Jim. I live close to Toulon and always read his weekly paper, “The Stark County News.”. I have met him a couple of times… great guy…
