5 STAR Reviews From Amazon Verified Purchasers

“Douglas Scott Delaney’s memoir, Stranded, may only take Delaney three days and 130 miles to encounter numerous adventures, but like a picaresque novel, we laugh and cringe with Delaney as he “looks for America” on his spring break from college in 1978. He may not be a superhero of his own story, but the emotional miles he chocks up transport him from a 17 year old kid to an adult who sees the inside of life as a challenge.” 

“Anyone reading Stranded can identify with the “lost” youth scrambling his way out of situations that he never dreamed of when he left New York.”

“Just so good. Doug is a masterful storyteller…makes me feel like I am sitting at a bar in Winfield, KS with him while he is telling me the stories!!!”

“Once I started I did not want to stop and had quite a few laughs, this story is that good. Do yourself a favor and hitch a ride with Douglas Scott Delaney, you will enjoy the ride.”

“I first began following the journey on social media and I had hoped it would be put together in a book! Douglas Scott Delaney surely there are more stories from that era of time you will write.”

“I didn’t intend to but once I started I couldn’t put it down. Stranded has just the right amount of humor and intrigue to entertain you from the first page to the last.”

“Delaney hits the crazy spots we all find ourselves in at some point in our lives.”

My unpredictable and comical Stranded was prompted when my son asked “Dad, did you ever go hitch-hiking?”

Not thinking it would become the little monster it became, I started by posting a few pages on his social media once a week. The response was as surprising as it was overwhelming, reaching over 100,000 readers in every state and 11 countries. 

Coyote Web Synergy and I are proud to offer now the revised and extended Stranded, to readers everywhere.  

And  in hindsight, “this story was a lot easier to tell than to live.”

 "I was totally compelled by this . . . the writing is strong; in the tradition of Junger, Langwiesche, Krakauer . . . with a dash of Hunter S. Thompson.” 

—Jon Winokur, author of bestselling memoirs

 The Garner Files and But Enough About Me

 An insider’s look at the rough and tumble workers throughout America who are risking their lives–and losing them at an alarmingly high rate–all in the name of connectivity.  

“A vivid book guaranteed to make readers more aware of what it takes to get that cellphone signal into his or her hand, for better or worse."

—Kirkus Reviews

"Delaney’s descriptions of working on broadcast towers document fatigue (90-hour weeks) and fear (of gravity’s heartlessness) and reverberate with bravado . . . Delaney’s book promotes appreciation for those who risk their lives so we can get a cell-phone signal, and it just might provoke some acrophobia, too." 

—Booklist

New work from Douglas Scott Delaney is available weekly via Substack.  Additionally, his upcoming works include two memoirs (It's A Levittown Thing and In Andrea's Kitchen) and a collection of essays (War On Hypocrisy.)

"It's time to cease being even remotely politically correct, pull out the stops and launch my war on hypocrisy and division.  And hopefully laugh at the whole damn crazy scheme of things."
