Items related to Reunion at University Avenue (Mike Adams)
Mike Adams thought Student Governments everywhere were funny. That is, until someone wanted him dead. Sixteen years after he graduated from college, Mike wrote a satire of college life that became a best-seller and is now set to become a movie. Not everyone liked what he wrote. As people get hurt and eerie messages are left behind, Mike finds himself targeted at his high school reunion. Now, he must ask some difficult questions. What did he write that enraged this attacker? Who in his past would do this? And does any of this have to do with the secret society known only as The Circle? A revised first chapter and a brief afterword are included in the 3rd edition (first published in 2013).

From the Author:
Q&A with Kenneth Kerns
Q. Reunion refers to a fictitious novel "A True Gator Party." What is the significance? Why not publish such a book?A. A True Gator Party is important to the plot of my book. Excerpts from it are shown through most of the chapters and it gives the reader a glimpse into the satire without dwelling on it, since it is less important than the fact that such a satire exists. I wanted my story to be about the general population's reaction to satire, and how some can take it too seriously, and not about the satire itself.
Q. Mike Adams writes about a character named Ben Burns. That is a bit on-the-nose, don't you think?A. The point of Reunion is that some satire hits close to home. It doesn't get any closer than self-depricating, does it?
Q. Who is part of The Circle? And couldn't you be more creative with the name?A. Creative names get noticed. Truly secretive societies - as opposed to mere honorific societies - wouldn't like to get noticed. The bland name is deliberate. While some aspects of The Circle are made plainly obvious to the folks on campus, others remain a mystery, and they like it that way.
