I don't know if I would go so far as to call it a talent. I'm a comic and a story teller. These are stories I have told all my life. They get especially hilarious after a couple glasses of wine, you betcha. But, I decided I would wait until everybody died off to write a book so they wouldn't sue me. Sure enough they did and it was like ok. The market had tanked and I had all day to do nothing so I decided to go for it. The only way I could do it was to self publish but I figured I could work my way through that. A good friend said to have my own cover so I retained all my rights so I said ok because I particularly loved the painting I made the cover. She has my Mama's eyes. I would sit in my glass office and whip out a chapter, then I would take it to one of my staff named Paulie. She has this explosive sense of humor and I figured if I got her laughing, sober, it couldn't be too bad. So, I would put it on her desk and go back to my office, about 20 feet away. After a few minutes, I would hear her bust open and I smiled and started working on another chapter. After awhile it just began to flow. I didn't start with it, but not many books nowadays have a chapter about the author being a fetus. I did that one for fun and giggles. I am writing a whole book now about someone who was a fetus. It's pretty funny.
