Reflections of life written in 'Invisible Ink' By Christopher Barnes / Editor, The Free Press.

"Your book Invisible Ink is a journalistic gem !!! I have been reading book and writing since I was 16 and I am now 84. I read a great deal of books on newspapers. All of these books offer insights into the newspaperman business, bit I think Invisible Ink says it best. A beautiful and meticulously detailed insider's look at a newspaperman's odyssey and the moral and ethical problems confronted. This is unquestionably an important contribution to the literature of journalism, and, as newsprint still flows through my veins instead of blood (in my mind), I was with you all the way as you went from newspaper to newspaper, struggling for security for your family and striving for journalistic excellence. You are to be congratulated on a job well done. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to be eyewitness to your life's experiences through the pages of Invisible Ink.", Nat Bodian, a former Newark News and Star Ledger news contributor. |

| Author Sue Long Turner writes: "It’s been many a day since I’ve felt compelled to read a book both for information and story. I found such a book in “Invisible Ink.” And seldom these days are readers treated to history, love affairs, bad editors, good editors, and unique characters, not all newspaper men and women. “Invisible Ink” concludes with a thrill and a shock. The ancestry of Carl Veno foreshadows the end." |
