Different

Writing Pete’s book was different than any other—in order to “know” Pete we spent every Sunday talking for three hours…not always about his story, sometimes about his life, how challenging it was for him to live in the “square world” and abide by new “rules of engagement.” He said it was like navigating a new planet. But one thing he found universal was the concept of gratitude. He showed me this right out of the gate….sending me a dozen roses as if I had just walked onto a great stage having embarked on the biggest writing adventure of my career. It was a symbolic and thoughtful and deeply touching. He thanked me for my dedication before I had even written a single word.
