“The Roving I,” a compilation of 70 essays by author Woody Weingarten, out in paperback

"The Roving I," containing more than 300 pages of Woody Weingarten's favorite essays (his own), has just been published — mere hours before the author's 85th birthday.

Author Woody Weingarten

A paperback version is now available on Amazon; it will be ready for prime time within days on the Apple and Barnes & Noble sites and many others. That will be followed shortly by a hardcover and an ebook.

The new book includes scores of Weingarten’s memories — including his partner earning a slot in his Little Black Book, a woman carrying her sister’s “miracle baby” inside her for nine months, and Robin Williams transforming himself into a talking vagina. 

Many of the 70 first-person newspaper columns are lighthearted; a handful are weighty.

“The Roving I” is Weingarten’s third book. His first, “Rollercoaster: How a man can survive his partner’s breast cancer,” detailed how he and his wife successfully coped with the life-threatening disease decades ago. 

The author’s second, “Grampy and His Fairyzona Playmates,” is a fantasy aimed at 6- to 10-year-olds and was his collaboration with his then 8-year-old granddaughter.

Details on all his books are available on Weingarten’s other website, https://woodyweingarten.com.

Push the "Rollercoaster" button NOW

Yep, it's just like giving birth: Amazon now taking orders for breast cancer caregiver book

OMG!

It's truly exciting (and precisely as some rather wise friends and associates had predicted I'd feel). Sort of like giving birth: You tend to forget the pain that came before and focus, instead, on the pure joy.

Question: What in the heck am I raving about?

Answer: There's now a button available on Amazon for the paperback and ebook versions of "Rollercoaster: How a man can survive his partner's breast cancer." Just plug in my name, Woody Weingarten.

The actual publication date was Nov. 1, which happens to be my wedding anniversary. Coincidence? No one should take that bet.

OMG!
