The writing of Road Rage (www.roadragebook.com) began in earnest in
the fall of 2006, with the final product hitting the presses in November 2008.
An original hand-written draft had been created 20 years earlier, carrying
the working title The Idiot Driver Topic . But like most of the competitive
topics on the market today, that early version seemed too whimsical for my
liking and, therefore, I shelved (and subsequently lost) my original manuscript.
