About the Author

"A writer's writer" is perhaps the quickest way to describe the literary vitality and versatility of Bill Majeski. He has been a staff writer for the Johnny Carson Tonight Show on TV, a scriptwriter for other stage comedians, and a journalist of vast experience. Over many years, Bill has excelled as a reporter, feature writer, and city editor of several prominent city newspapers. He has won Newspaper Guild writing awards along with many professional accolades. Though his work days have always been full of demanding deadlines, Bill has managed additionally to write twenty-two published plays and four non-fiction books for major publishers. Though his achievements in the literary and semi-pro sports worlds have been exceptional, Bill has never lost his humility or sense of humor. When asked about his abilities as a public speaker, he said, "The other day, I spoke wittily, articulately, eloquently, and forcefully - unfortunately, I was alone at the time."
