A piece of cake?

Having a young professional write my wife Kay’s biography may appear to others like a walk in the park.  It may have been a piece of cake, if I had simply handed her everything to transcribe and unloaded hundreds of photos for her to choose from.  Then, not worried about editing to my satisfaction, trying to match my quirky style.


She interviewed key people, especially our children, and did most of the writing — far better than I could have done.  However. it certainly was not a cakewalk.  Fortunately, with both of us working on the book as a team for several months, a biography was produced that is extraordinary and fun to read.  Truly, in the author’s words, “Remembering Kay is as effortless and delightful as savoring a slice of her homemade, delectable fresh peach pie.”
