He was my cab driver
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Two nights ago, coming home late from a party in Toronto, I flagged a cab and hopped in. The cab driver and I got to talking and discovered we were both novelists, he somewhat more ahead of the game. He was enthusiastic about his work, as a successful writer must be, and introduced himself as Peter McSherry. Being a fellow writer, I of course had to purchase a copy he just happened to have with him and have been reading it since. Worth its weight in cab fare -Andrew Byer (If you read this Peter McSherry, I was the inebrated ethusiastic guy with his girl you took to Sherbourne on August 15th 2005. Told you I would not regret buying a copy.)
