WHY I WROTE  “LIFE OF THE POTTY”

Why is Arlen Grossman the author of a book about Peter Potty’s adventures as an exchange student on Earth?

One qualification I have is a lifetime of familiarity with toilets. But I never had learned about intelligent talking toilets, the kind who populate Latrinius, a planet in another solar system, until I heard a lecture by a U.F.O (University of Florida at Orlando) professor, Dr. Harman Sharmin, who knew of this unusual planet.

I knew then I had to tell the world about this fascinating planet and one of its incredible inhabitants, Peter Potty, the first of his kind to visit Earth. The result of my research and interviews is the book Life of the Potty, the Adventures of Peter Potty IntergalacticExchange Student

While I’ve been a journalism student, special ed school teacher, and freelance writer in California, this is my first book, and I feel fortunate to have this special opportunity to share with the world Peter Potty’s extraordinary adventures on Earth.

I do my writing in three states, California, Vermont, and neurotic. My wife, Nancy Allison, and I live bicoastally in California and Vermont. Our grown children, Jade and wife Abbee, and Corinne, live in California. Peter Potty splits his life between Florida and his home planet, Latrinius.
