About the Author

Douglas Fergus (aka Doug) is the author of more than one hundred…I mean, more than one book. Quit Honking (I’m Pedaling as Fast as I Can) is his second book.

Doug and his family dwelled in sunny California during the groovy 1960s in his hometown of Sierra Madre. His maternal grandfather was a pun and joke lover who cultivated Doug's habit of noticing the absurd and ridiculous in everyday life.

Early on, Doug developed a fascination with two-wheeled vehicles and all things mechanical. It was during his four-year stretch in the US Air Force, while stationed in Alaska, he unearthed a musical passion and taught himself guitar and bass guitar. This inspired a desire to be a rock star. The fraction of a penny that he earns from his streaming royalties, coupled with the monumental success of his first book, Small Portions Café, have allowed him to stop complaining about the price of a cup of coffee and devote himself fully to his consuming interest in getting his furnace-whisperer license.

When he’s not writing, he’s likely doing handyman repairs at his home, bicycling or hiking with his wife, practicing bass guitar or cooking a delicious, healthy meal. Doug lives in random parts of the world with his wife, Suzan, and their very cool dog, Juno.

Doug has written and recorded over 75, upbeat, quirky, fun indie rock songs under the artist name Lucky Doug Fergus. His music can be found on all digital platforms. To learn more, please visit www.luckydougpress.com.
