Our campus newspaper where I teach, The Creightonian, published a little article to mark the publication of my new novel… my bestselling novel… The War Begins in Paris.

Thanks to Elizabeth Jones for doing the piece. In a time when it’s hard enough for most big city newspapers to stay in print, I love that our campus newspaper is still going strong!

Wheeler, currently in his third year working at Creighton, covered both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections when he worked as a journalist.  

“It was just a very challenging time to be a reporter, specifically a political reporter,” Wheeler said. “People would call me a liar. I knew other reporters who had been spit on or been attacked while just doing their jobs. So, I really wanted to write a novel that talked about reporters who did a lot of good, who did their job in good faith and did a lot of work towards preserving democracy.”
