In The Driver's Seat is my first book. I'm at work on two more--another memoir and a novel of revenge--plus two screenplays. No tattoos, yet. And yes, I really drove 18-wheelers more than one million accident-free miles.

As I get older and perhaps wiser, each reread offers fresh insights and commands greater respect for the writers.

New-to-me books in 2023 include Underland, Mountains of the Mind, and The Old Ways, all by Robert Macfarlane.(less)

Hi, Barbara --

Goodreads gave me the Brooklyn address, but I'll send it wherever you want me to if you let me know where it should go, no problem. :) I hope to have copies in hand by the end of the week. I'll ship them immediately. I hope you'll enjoy the book and I look forward to your comments. Thank you.
