“You start thinking that you are at the bottom," Winkler explains. "But your own personal strength kicks in, and you realize, ‘I’m not staying here. I am not staying at the bottom.’”
It provides him with a great sense of accomplishment. “Outside of my family, my children, my seven grandchildren and our puppies, I am the proudest of the books, that they exist and, first and foremost, that they make the readers laugh. Lin and I truly believe that humor is the gateway to the reluctant reader.”

“I did not read until I was 31," he admits. "I was frightened and intimidated. I didn’t think I could. And then I decided that I wanted to read a novel. I wanted to be like everybody else. So, I picked up The Clan of the Cave Bear, and I got lost in the story. What reading does is take you to places you cannot imagine without ever getting out of your chair.”
In sum, life is good, happy and fulfilling. “I’ll tell you what is wonderful — that I am still at the table is an amazing thing to me,” Winkler says. “There are so many people who started when I did, or that I worked alongside, and I am still here having the best time!”
