Trouble Comes to Hornville

About the Book

Let’s leave Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys to their vanilla pudding, and instead hearken back to the 50’s and some youngsters who unwittingly find themselves involved in problems big and not-so-big---murder, a chronic bully, and mysterious newcomers to town. An entertaining cozy read for all ages. Welcome to Hornville!

About the Author

Fred Wrazel was born and raised in Cudahy, Wisconsin, a blue-collar suburb of Milwaukee, on the western shore of Lake Michigan. Fred quit high school in order to join the Army and thus qualify for the G.I. Bill. He is a graduate of Marquette University, class of ‘53. In 1949 he married Janet Helding, of Racine. In 1954, they packed all their worldly goods into a two-wheel trailer, hitched it to their ‘48 DeSoto Club Coupe, and headed West with their three kids on a baby mattress in the back seat. (This was LBSB, i.e., Long Before Seat Belts.) After a brief stay in Idaho, they settled in the San Francisco Bay area. In 1962 the family moved to Fresno, California, where Fred and Janet still reside in their own home, and remain active in business and the community.
