Here's what people are saying once they've caught their breath....
"If anything positive emerged out of the mountain of dreck that 9/11 spawned...it was The Thief Maker...Towards the end all bets are off and suddenly the post 9/11 world has turned to Bedlam...The climactic build-up is a shrieking anxious ride that gets thick with complexity and before you know it you're being hit in the head with a dynamite denoument...an inventive and stylistically nihilistic novel...Schleicher wonderfully captured a lot of nuances of modern-day America spot-on...Schleicher draws the reader into this smartly crafted parallel universe--one that is remarkably like our own world." - Kent Manthie for Reviewer Magazine
"The Thief Maker is for anyone who loves a good mystery with a psychological edge to it...mysterious, thought-provoking, entertaining and sometimes shocking... All in all, that is just what most mystery lovers want." - Joe Graham for Reader Views
"Schleicher keeps everything real and gritty, leaving you awestruck by the depth of the misfortune that these people have had to endure. The Thief Maker...hangs around in your mind, percolating with its pathos and all of its insights into human relationships." - Daniel Jolley, an Amazon.com Top 50 Reviewer
"Overall, it is a well-written, inventive story that strikes at the heart of what it means for some people to love, hate, be indifferent and get carried along in global as well as personal events." - Nancy O. Greene, author of Portraits in the Dark

Published October 2006
…from the author:
The Thief Maker ($14.95, ISBN 0-595-40518-5) is a suspense novel that explores the destruction and restructuring of human relationships in the wake of personal and communal tragedies. Told in “thematic chronology,” the non-linear, multiple point-of-view style is meant to reveal the psychological complexities and intimate details of human interactions.

Is it time to steal a piece of history?
What brings us to this crucial point? Is it more powerful in those public moments of a communal tragedy like the terrorist attacks on 9/11, or is it in the quiet intimacy of that emotional breakdown in the middle of the night when you think no one is watching? What force compels us to question our identity and ache for that connection to someone or something else? What is it that forms our duplicitous nature with one set of eyes unable to examine the present as it is, and one set of eyes trying to imagine a future where we are not haunted by the ghosts of the past? In the wake of America’s War on Terror, the lives of a con man, a private eye, a nurse, and a lesbian couple tragically intertwine in Philadelphia.
The time has come to meet your maker.

Who I'd like to meet:
Fellow writers and people in the 'bizz (agents, editors, publishers).
Creative individuals, groups, and organizations, film directors, producers, screenwriters, and artists.
Readers from all walks of life.
Anybody with something interesting to say or a sense of humor. 99% of what I say is sarcastic and meant to be funny so don't take me as seriously as I take myself. I love contrary opinions and challenges from strong-minded people.
