A Wild Ride Up the Cupboards

[Guest guest]

I am the author of a novel, published last month by Scribner, called A Wild

Ride Up the Cupboards. It is the story of a young couple whose child

withdraws, and it follows what happens to them--to their lives and to their

marriage--when they risk everything and take dramatic steps in order to

reach their son. My book has been reviewed by the Washington Post and

Entertainment Weekly (both appear online); it also has caught the attention

of autism groups including the University of Washington's Autism Center, the

Autism Society of Minnesota, and Cure Autism Now.

After Finding Fargo, an essay I wrote about my own autistic son, appeared on

salon.com, I received many e-mails from your area asking if I will be

appearing in Dallas, Houston, or Austin. Though my book tour will not take

me down, I would love to visit if there is an autism-related event that

would benefit.

Both Finding Fargo and information about my novel, as well as a list of

questions related to the book, are available at my web site:

Please let me know if you will be staging a fundraiser or conference at

which my work might be discussed. I would love to meet some of those people

who wrote to me with their own stories after reading mine.

Yours,

Ann Bauer
