Last night I was finally able to make a childhood dream a reality when I finally was able to do a reading from a book I had written.
When I was a child I used to stutter and took refugee in writing to express myself. I dreamed of the day when my poem and stories would be collected into a book and I could control my stuttering enough to do a reading from my book.
A couple of years ago, Tortoise Books was kind to published a collection of my stories about driving for Lyft and Uber in the city of Chicago. We titled the book:
YOUR DRIVER HAS ARRIVED
However, my book was published a couple of months into the Covid pandemic. At the time, we thought that Covid would be over at any moment ( how wrong were we) . It wasn’t until last night that I was finally able to do a live reading of my book.
