Driving Naked: A Memoir of Love and Liberation

Your Scribbler is pleased to announce publication of a new memoir by Katherine Vaccaro from Roundel publishing called Driving Naked: A Memoir of Love and Liberation.

Like a road rally in a fancy foreign car, Vaccaro takes the reader on an adventure down roads most of us may never travel in real life, from clubs for the super-smart to clothing-optional beaches. But the most compelling trip her memoir embarks on is the one we all must someday take – to our final destination. Driving Naked explores the important question of who ultimately has the right to decide when, where, and how the journey ends.

The book is available NOW in paperback at Amazon.com and will soon be available for Kindle and as an audiobook.

Sharing is caring; please spread this news to readers via your social media platforms.

Katherine Vaccaro is available for print, radio, and television interviews regarding the book and the topic of death with dignity. Please write her via the contact form on her website or email her at dnmemoir@gmail.com to schedule.
