Blurb: “The Way I Heard It began as a collection of short stories pulled from my podcast—a simple attempt to satisfy listeners who wanted written versions of my weekly five-minute mysteries. That, according to my mother, was "the very definition of lazy." So, I sat down to explain why I wrote these mysteries in the first place. Before I knew it, that new material turned into something deeply personal and entirely unexpected. The result is what

you're holding: a curious mix of memoir and mystery.

I suppose you could call it a "memstery," but that's not really a word, so let's just call it what it is—a book.

Inside this book, you'll learn about my strange foray into the belly of the Baltimore Opera, my various humiliations in the home shopping industry,

and my many run ins with dirty jobbers, bloody do-gooders, B-list celebrities, and Hollywood hotshots.

You'll also meet my mom and dad, who continue to upstage me at every turn. Mostly, though, you'll learn why I write about famous people I've never met, and what l discovered about myself in the process.

It's not the book I sat down to write; it is, however, the book that wanted to be written. And now, it's the book I hope you'll read.

It's The Way I Heard It. -MIKE ROWE”
