Autorenporträt

Upon Mary's passing in 2022, I had spent 25 years as a trial attorney in Massachusetts - a generation of organizing, writing, and telling stories to countless juries throughout Massachusetts. Under the guidance and with the help of my brother-in-law John, who learned horse racing at the feat of his father and uncle and lived through the times of Timely Writer, writing this book together seemed a natural fit for one of the few skillsets I possessed. John and I agreed to partner up to tell the story of his parents, his uncle, and Timely Writer. As we put the story together over two and one-half years, it was unlike any other I had encountered personally or professionally. I suspected the story would be worth telling when we began the project never envisioning the depths of its greatness and meaning. As John and I put together chapter after chapter, I found myself riding the emotional roller coaster of what my in-laws had gone through fascinated at times, laughing at times, and shedding tears of joy and sorrow all along the way.

We hope you enjoy the journey as you are brought back in time atop the saddle of the legendary Timely Writer and into Martin's circle of family and friends in The Ride of Their Lives.
