I encountered C...TO : Cassandra Ulrich - 11/9/11<br /><br />I encountered Cassandra Ulrich at a town event where she wassigning and providing the personal opportunity to become introduced to her andher novel A Beautiful Girl. <br /><br />Uninformed as to her other career and only glancing at thecover and title, but missing the words (and relevance of) the sub-title “Cananyone rescue me”, I challenged this stunning young author with a question Ithought frankly (actually purposely)might be just a little tough to handle. <br /><br />I said “looking at me (a 5o something year old white guy)and understanding that I am a corporate business management software salesexecutive, what entertaining and rewarding experience should I expect to gainfrom reading your book. As it turned out I had baited my own mental mousetrap,which she adeptly, metaphorically snapped shut. <br /><br />With instant adeptness, confidence and clairvoyant insight,I felt well beyond her years, Cassandra replied. If you appreciate an Alfred Hitchcockclassic, you will ” absolutely” be highly entertained by this book. “Damn” I said (to myself) and “sold” I said(out loud), as immediately conjured images of Psycho, Marnie etc. flashedthrough my mind, “you’ve got yourself a customer” (and new fan). <br /><br />Familiar now as I am with how skillfully she uses a dualnarrative, shades-of-Hitchcock, approach to absorb the reader into amultidimensional view of an all too real world drama, I highly recommend youacquire this book and become a satisfied reader as well.<br /><br />Forgiving the coincidence of her ironically malevolent casting my namesake (Chuck) in her novel, mythanks for a great read and congratulations to Cassandra Ulrich withanticipation of further great work and your bright career to unfold.<br /><br />Chuck Hensley / Collingswood, NJChuck Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090938479126037930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112211108482596326.post-76641002731921607812011-06-27T11:13:35.861-04:002011-06-27T11:13:35.861-04:00Congrats Cassandra!
