Synopsis
Taylor Pensoneau emerged from the Norman Rockwell town of his Illinois youth to become a highly respected newspaper reporter, coal industry executive and well-known author. He chronicles his journey in "Reporting on Life—and people along the way." It is a revealing portrait of an Illinois insider replete with poignancy, humor and heartbreak. Readers are taken behind the scenes in the Illinois Statehouse press room, the Watergate scandal and the writing of Pensoneau’s books. His titles include two award-winning biographies of Illinois governors, best-selling sagas of downstate Illinois gangsters (including "Brothers Notorious—The Sheltons"), and one work of fiction, the suspenseful "Summer of ’50." In "Reporting on Life, and People Along the Way," the author relates his encounters with the famous and not so famous, and provides a detailed look at those who have greatly impacted his life. The 355-page book contains more than 48 photographs.
