Before
becoming a full-time writer, Mr. Lehane worked as a
counselor with mentally handicapped and abused
children, waited tables, parked cars, drove limos,
worked in bookstores, and loaded tractor-trailers.
His one regret is that no one ever gave him a chance
to tend bar. He lives in the Boston area. |
