I first discovered Harold Adams in the early 90s when I was a librarian in Nebraska. I have since worked in southwest Minnesota and central Wisconsin. In all 3 locations, Adams' works were all but unknown, which is too bad. I believe his Carl Wilcox stories are unequaled.

Mr. Adams is such a favorite of mine. I am so sorry he is ill.
His books are wonderful. And I have looked forward to each one. I hope his health improves. Part of my wish is for him, and selfishly partly for me. I would miss not being able to keep up with Carl Wilcox.

So sorry to learn that Harold Adams has health problems that prevent him from writing another wonderful Carl Wilcox story.
I hope that Mr Adams has good medical treatment and good care from those close to him as well as a speedy recovery.

It is really hard to accept that we may never have a new Carl Wilcox mystery, again...what a shame. My heart goes out to Mr Adams, I sincerely
hope his health, whatever the problem
is, returns, whether we get another
Wilcox installment or not. Like many others, I was raised in the midwest,
and my dad started school in a very small place like Cordon in So Dakota.
He is gone now, was born in 1922, about the same age as Mr Adams, I see,
and he used to tell us stories about
So Dakota, when we were growing up
down in Iowa, among them, how the
whole family was run off their share-
cropping farm in the depression, and
were divested of all their household goods that they couldn't load into
a Model T that was already full with the folks and four kids...that was near
Virgil, Beadle County, I think. So,
the Carl Wilcox stories took me home
again, and transported me to where I had never been, but heard about: my dad's childhood home. I'm a librarian,
now, and I seldom forget to suggest a
Harold Adams book to my readers, al-
though our big system has darn few to
choose from...Was very nice to read
all the commments on this site, hope
mine will also ring a chord with you
all, glad we all had the fortune to discover old Carl and his times--hats off to Harold Adams who took us there!
