Those are our human reactions,…

Geoff Herbach, author of the novel The Miracle Letters of T. Rimberg, spoke at a Henderson Writers’ Group (HWG) meeting here in Las Vegas this week on the topic of narrative choice. His novel, an epistolary collection of suicide letters, uses humor, anger, and personal exploration that develop into a character study of the disturbed T. Rimberg.
