Harvey Araton, a celebrated sports columnist for The New York Times authored the New York Times best-selling Driving Mr. Yogi about the famous catcher's relationship with pitcher Ron Guidry, and When the Garden Was Eden: Clyde, the Captain, Dollar Bill, and the Glory Days of the New York Knicks (one reviewer said Araton writes like Earl the Pearl Monroe played basketball). Cold Type is Araton's first novel. Besides his duties as columnist for the Times, he's an Adjunct Professor at Montclair State University in New Jersey where he lives.
