Editorial : About the Author JoAnne Blackwelder met her husband, Steve, at the University of Wisconsin, where both were employed as Teaching Assistants as they studied for the PhD in English. After they married and moved to New York City, Steve wrote screenplays and was hired as a story editor for Warner Bros. The couple had two daughters, bought a shabby brownstone in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and became jacksofalltrades as they renovated their house, doing most of the work themselves. To allow Steve to stay home to write a novel, JoAnne left their young daughters in his care and worked in Manhattan, first in publishing, later in typesetting and printing. Eventually she acquired her own printing business and ran it for 10 years. In 2007, she and Steve retired to Ocean City, NJ, where he died suddenly. JoAnne continues to live in Ocean City and today is employed as an organist and choir director. Her poetry has appeared in several anthologies and journals, and she was a featured poet in September

Meanwhile, JoAnne felt nearly overwhelmed by other crises, including her recurring breast cancer and her parents being critically injured in their house fire. As she became convinced her husband was gay, JoAnne prepared for divorce, but neither she nor Steve really wanted to separate. Still best friends, the two continued living together. They rem
We haven't heard the last of Mir just yet, and I look forward to seeing an increasingly complete account of the flights coming out over the years to come.
I'll agree that Dragonfly is the more balanced account, a real eye-opener in its own right, but Jerry Linenger's account fills a gap in the story, and I can recommend it to any space junkie wanting a fix.. Avery wise perspective on alcoholism, as dealt with or not by psychoanalysis. I thought all the mysteries combined with the romance were super entertaining.
The ending of the book shocked me and my heart was racing as I read it. This is a fascinating and well-written book, especially considering that the author admits that he wanted nothing to do with DeLorean for decades after the company folded. Maybe MSFT prevents people from talking about such stuff, but by cutting out such professionally interesting bits, the book becomes a "missed opportunity" (esp. since Adam is a self described "systems guy"). I would love a
