The autobiography describes the several hats I have worn since growing up in Iowa's Bible Belt. I became a teacher of English, a book review editor, a Times Square recording studio owner, a syndicated columnist, a gossip columnist, an author about philosophy and non-belief, atheism, and more. It includes a biography of my paramour of 40 years, and it holds nothing back. It's ideal for sociologists, critics, and philosophy-minded individuals.

But this time, Ashley’s determined to convince him that he’s at home only in Stone Creek—with her. Originally published in 2008 and 2009
