Schlunegger said the finished book is his own style and not particularly modeled after authors whose work he admires. However, he said he believed in a statement by Ernest Hemingway, who said, “good writers should read good writers a lot.”

He said his objective was to create a book that was fluid and easy to read, and he hopes he has achieved that. A second novel – which could be read either as a sequel or independently of All’ Acqua – has passed the first draft stage.
“It’s not continuing the story but readers will recognize some of the characters,” Schlunegger said.

The official launch of “All’ Acqua” is planned for Saturday evening at Inn of the Hills, where Schlunegger will be present to sign copies of the book. The event begins at 6 p.m. and will conclude at 7 p.m.
