Hi Ted. When I was 12 or so I read your book Thunder Road - pretty sure it was the first book I ever read that contained sex scenes and drug use, so yeah, thanks for that. You'll be pleased to know I turned out reasonably normal, which is unfortunate because if I had become a drug addict sex fiend I could probably blame your book and sell my story to Woman's Day or something.

Anyway, how many books did you write before getting one published?

If this doesn't get answered, someone else in the field should give their response...

There should be a kickstarter for ideas like this
