How to Co-Author a Book When One Writer Lives in Texas and the Other One Lives in Washington State

2. Lots of cell phone minutes (preferably with the same provider)
3. A willingness to compromise
4. A sense of humor
5. A strong friendship

Luckily, both of us possess all those qualities. Otherwise, there's no way we could have written I.O.U. SEX.
