Marilyn's Musings

After reading an review Kurt Kamm's latest thriller, Tunnel Vision, which is available from Amazon today, I decided to find out more about him. He kindly answered the following questions: When did you first realize you were a writer? When I was at Brown, I took a career aptitude test and the first recommendation was that I become a novelist.

Being a fan of Kurt Kamm’s writing, I was delighted to have the opportunity to read his latest. You can always count on his books to be accurate when it comes to anything that has to do with public safety and the fire department. In this latest offering, Kamm takes on one of the biggest threats to Southern California, a terrorist attack on Southern California’s water supply.

The chilling history of the Sylmar Tunnel Disaster of 1971 is skillfully woven into this most compelling thriller. Kamm has done it again...
