James M FlammangJames M. Flammang has been a journalist, writer, and editor for his entire working life. Since the 1980s, he's covered the automobile business as an independent journalist. In addition to contributing countless product reviews and feature articles tosuch publications as autoMedia, Kelley Blue Book, J.D. Power, cars.com, Consumer Guide, and the Chicago Tribune, Flammang has authored more than two dozen books. Most of those titles were about automotive history, but he also has written six books for children. During the past few years, Flammang has eased away from the auto business in order to concentrate on books: mostly essays and memoirs, along with a bit of fiction, establishing TK Press to publish his work. Mr. Maurice Knows It All.... was the first of those titles, and Flammang's first e-book. Next came the Tirekicking Used Car Buyer's Guide, now followed by Incompetent. Coming soon: Absurdities, Work Hurts, Hotel Life, and Fraidy-Cat. Born in Chicago, Flammang lives just outside that city with his wife, advisor and editor, Marianne. Read More Read Less
