I lived in Montgomery County, Maryland, for 15 years. My new book, Family Unfriendly, begins in Montgomery County. The final anecdote occurs in Montgomery County. One of the times I lost my son, which I describe in the book, involved the Montgomery County Police Department being good and helpful.

I wrote much of the book in Montgomery County: at home, at the Stained Glass Pub, at local coffee shops, and in the Montgomery County Public Libraries — which I even praise in the book for hosting parent-and-child events for stay-at-home parents.
