To promote WILDMAN, I attempted to drive from Eugene, Oregon to New York City in a ‘93 Buick Century – the same car that broke down, stranded me in rural Washington, and inspired me to write the book in the first place. I pledged to travel 5 miles for every copy of WILDMAN sold, and 1 mile for every $5 donation to the American Library Association. No donations, no driving.
