Scott Moody, the schizophrenic cab driving detective.

Author Steve Oliver took his experience as a mental patient and as a cab driver and invested them into his character, Scott Moody. Riding with Moody in his cab is quite an experience as he takes you into his delusional thinking and his equally bizarre life. He has a wife and daughter that he loves but can’t be with. He has a bare existence life that keeps him driving to earn money and chase his demons – real and imagined. Author Oliver is brave enough to share his psychotic experience and gives us a rare glimpse into the kind of shattered thought process a mentally ill person might have to deal with, while trying to cope with "normal" people who seem to think a little more linearly. Scott Moody is featured in three books: Moody Gets The Blues, Moody Forever, and Moody In Winter. Check him out at Steve Oliver's website
