Quad Citizen and author, Jonathan Turner, has made a lifelong career as a writer. One of his latest works is 100 Things to do in the Quad Cities Before You Die, which is a guide book to help people navigate must-see and do activities in the Quad Cities region. The book is broken down topically, with recommendations and brief descriptions to help readers find an experience that fits their interests. Jonathan explains that the brief writing style was a challenge, as there was much more to say about each attraction. The book leads to exploration. Once a reader finds an attraction they are interested in and goes, that then opens up the possibilities for more findings in the area.
