At Any Rate That's My Dad
“How many of us wish that we’d spoken with our parents, grandparents or loved ones to hear their life stories in their own words before they left us? Author Jack Livingston did just that with his father, Bill, in the years before he passed away in 2024. At Any Rate That’s My Dad, is a heartwarming collection of conversations between a father and his son. Produced with Jack’s gentle prodding and rendered with a fine ear for his father’s speech and mannerisms, we hear about Bill’s early days in Buffalo, his love of baseball, commitment to his family, and Jack’s evolution into the role of caregiver for his dad. On these two-dimensional pages, Bill Livingston becomes three-dimensional, preserved forever in dialogue and prose.”
Rick Ohler, author of Have You Lived Here All Your Life? “… Not Yet.”

A Lot Like Fun — Only Different
“Heartwarming and heartrending: A Lot Like Fun ― Only Different is a wild journey of enduring friendship, love and hilarious escapades led by the irrepressible and unforgettable Chris Kelley. Each adventure from the past is contrasted with the harsh reality of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) that is robbing Chris of his words, his can-do, his uncensored humor, and his ability to do what he’d done for so many years ― two fun things in one day.”
Barbara Gibson Taylor, author of Particularly Peculiar People
