Nobody does anything for one reason.

Loyalty is weird, it kicks in when you dont expect it and the people who deserve loyalty least seem to get it the most.

And there are people who want to be writers because they love to write. And they care.

I'm seventy-six now. I'm at a stage in my life where I feel a lot of affection and regard for women, and I felt the need to make this clear in some way. I don't know how they'll feel when they read it, but I feel okay about it.

Much more than memoir; it's history.

Storytelling is an ancient and honorable act. An essential role to play in the community or tribe. It's one that I embrace wholeheartedly and have been fortunate enough to be rewarded for.
