In 2011 my first book, Thunder Dog, was published. It became a number-one New York Times bestseller. Two years later, a colleague and I decided to write a children's book as a follow-up to Thunder Dog. As the book evolved, we decided to make it a children's book. It is not a picture book, but rather it was intended to be a book to teach children ab...

The most fun? Probably just thinking about Roselle and all of our adventures and the many things we got to do together. I had the opportunity to reminisce about challenges and all of the things we did together. Many of them were in the book, but some were very personal.
Blindness is not the problem that people think it is. The reality is, the fear of blindness, the poor attitudes and misconceptions that people have about blindness and the lack of education that society provides about what it means to be blind is one of the most significant things I hope that people take away from reading the book. Also, I hope tha...
Ever since September 11, 2001 I have told my story. I have told people how I was not afraid that day because I had taken a lot of time to prepare to be in the World Trade Center environment in case there ever was an emergency. I tell people how I spoke with fire authorities, the Port Authority police, and how I investigated the World Trade Center b...
