Spencer, IA (KICD) — A retired band teacher from the area finally achieved his dream from 6th grade of writing a book.

Gene Gross wrote a book about a murder mystery set right here in Okoboji

 

While the first book is out he has plans to release three more to complete the series. Gross says that while writing has come naturally to him, he has done a lot of research and had quite a bit of help as well.

His book, The Girl in the Net, is available on Amazon and on his website at genegross.com. He will also be at Arts on Grand this Thursday from 5-7 pm.
