Picture
Gary Sosniecki is the author of  The Potato Masher Murder: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband, published by The Kent State University Press. The book tells the true story of the brutal death of his great-grandmother, Cecilia Ludwig, in a murder the La Porte Argus-Bulletin called “without a parallel in northern Indiana.” Sosniecki worked at newspapers in four states during a 43-year career that included owning three Missouri weeklies with his journalist wife Helen. Gary has received dozens of awards for journalism excellence from state, national, and international newspaper organizations including, with Helen, the Eugene Cervi lifetime-achievement award from the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors. Gary and Helen were inducted into the Missouri Press Association Hall of Fame in 2014. The Sosnieckis lived in Le Claire, Iowa, for eight years before returning to Missouri for retirement in 2016.
 
The Potato Masher Murder: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband may be ordered directly from The Kent State University Press at http://www.kentstateuniversitypress.com/2019/the-potato-masher-murder/ or wherever books are sold.
