Pre-Order Alex Roy’s “The Driver” On Amazon UK!

I’ve received a lot of e-mail from friends in the UK regarding the shipping cost of ordering The Driver from the US Amazon site, but Amazon UK has conveniently put up a page for the European English-language edition, which will be far more economical. As soon as other UK retailers make it available, I will add the appropriate links.

I heard a rumor from Random House/Ebury Press that the UK edition would ship on or about January 1st, but Amazon UK lists the release date as November 1st, so anything is possible. You’ll find out as soon as I do.

My European book tour will tentatively begin in the UK in early January, then head to the continent.

I look forward to seeing everyone…and showing off Team Polizei’s all-new secret interceptor

Alex Roy’s “The Driver” - Reviews #2


Above: Team Polizei Master Piloten David Maher’s Pavlovian response to "The Driver" surprises none aware of his depiction within. Below: AI Design Owner Matt Figliola & "32 Hours, 7 Minutes" Director Cory Welles also react as expected.

“The Driver” UK Book Cover Revealed

 US Cover (Click for Hi-Rez)  UK Cover (Click for Hi-Rez)

Ebury Press, a division of Random House, has released a near (if not the) final version of the UK cover of my memoir "The Driver", and I’ve got say I might even love the 60’s-style cover more than the US edition’s sleek/modern approach. I do find the tagline somewhat amusing, since those aren’t quite the words I would use in conversation to describe my story, nor the story of the myriad surreal characters I’ve met over my years driving.

Team Polizei Wallpaper of the Day #8 (Repost)

Team Polizei Wallpaper of the Day #8 is a picture taken on June 6th of the 2004 Bullrun USA - a day that shall live in infamy. My first arrest on a rally, I was captured by the Arizona Department of Public Safety after doing 168 mph in a…well…I didn’t know what the speed limit was in the vicinity of Kingman…but the Mojave County Jail was one I’d rather not visit again.
