As a journalist with nearly a quarter century of experience, Mark Di Vincenzo made a name for himself as a reporter who exposed abuses and as a writer who made the complicated seem simple. He won numerous awards before becoming an editor. During the summer of 2007, he left daily journalism to pursue book projects and to start Business Writers Group, a writing and public relations company. In 2009, Harper-Collins published his first book, Buy Ketchup in May and Fly At Noon: A Guide to the Best Time to Buy This, Do That and Go There, a New York Times bestseller. Born and reared in Cleveland, he lives in the shipyard town of Newport News, Virginia-two blocks from William Styron's childhood home-with his wife and two daughters. A third daughter attends the University of Oklahoma.

"Well worth checking out." -- Dayton Daily News "The breezy little paperback offers hundreds of tips from the former investigative reporter, whose research is evident and sources carefully listed at the end. That keeps the attribution from cluttering up the info, which ranges from sublime to silly." -- Los Angeles Times/Travel blog "Food for thought." -- Boston Globe "Sure to liven up a boring cocktail party ... [W]ill enlighten, surprise, even disappoint you." -- Houston Chronicle "Straightforward." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Full of amusing and helpful timing tips." -- Sacramento Bee "Strangely compelling." -- The Guardian "[Di Vincenzo] doles out advice with practical reasoning ... [U]seful and interesting." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "[Di Vincenzo] gets into the nitty-gritty of why timing really is everything." -- Chicago Tribune
