A passionate and poignant memoir written by a woman whose life has been guided by the words: "I am here to learn how to love well." The book is a deep examination of relationships, family, motivation, and honoring of the Self.
"If it's good news, it must be someone else's" pretty much puts the old exclamation point on my ordinary life.
Background
Information
The son of Bob and Bobbie, Bob, if anything, was blessed at birth by a wildly creative first name, the precursor to the rather robust imagination he would uncork while in the throes of spotty recollection.
Prior to this latest adventure in break-out publishing, Bob busied himself with writing two full length screenplays, a TV sitcom script, a collection of stories about growing up in the Sixties, over fifty e-zine articles, a Christmas story novella, and an assortment of blogs, Cranelegs Pond being the original and only one left standing. His hobbies include: deer-spotting, vacuuming and sophomoric phone antics to Oprah's weekly inquiries.
Bob lives in New Jersey as: 1) the humble servant to and constant suitor of Keaton, 2) the in-over-his-jumbo-head pseudo-step-dad to Alix, and 3) personal chef/assistant to 10 year old Lab Annabel. Not far from this little piece of rural paradise lives Bob's son, who thankfully keeps Bob up-to-date on every HBO series and Sit-Com worth watching, as well as faithful companion in the hell known as a NY Yankee hatin’ NY sports fan.
Bob has been heavily influenced by Woody Allen, Jean Shepherd, Brian Andreas and most recently, J.D. Salinger.
