MEET THE AUTOMOTIVE ARCHAEOLOGIST FASTON HANKS

It took 5 months to write my first novel. And 2 years to find an agent and publisher. But, well worth the wait.

Writing a novel, and listening to the positive and negative reviews has been a growth experience. You really put yourself out there. Unlike advertising, where our anonymity shield us from the true slings, arrows and occasional bouquet thrown our way.

YOU HAVE TO WRITE YOUR FIRST NOVEL SO YOU CAN WRITE YOUR FIRST GOOD NOVEL

Or, so another novelist told me. And they are right.

I am proud of this novel. But, my second one, is mucho betterer.

THE NOVEL I LOVE

Funny thing, is that I wrote both these novels, one about a Porsche and one about a Bentley. And I then wound up working for both brands in advertising.

Maybe I should write a novel about getting paid to travel the world and see if that can happen.
