Burdened by the guilt of growing up Catholic and trying to live up to the expectations of the Church, Another All Night Drive Away: The Autobiography of Tyke Johnson chronicles how life can be hilarious, depressing, absurd, offensive, and touching all at once. All the while capturing the preposterous truth that living a life less physically exhausting than it is mentally overbearing is much harder than our farming fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers might have thought. As I seek a publisher for this book of creative non-fiction essays I'll also be submitting the individual stories to various literary magazines. As each story is accepted and published I'll post the links here. Thanks as always for your support. I hope you enjoy.
