  <about><![CDATA[Doreen is an award-wining author and triple-boarded psychiatrist. She has lectured throughout the U.S. as well as appeared on national media (Larry King, 48 Hours, Good Morning America, NPR, etc.). Her new book, QUEEN OF THE ROAD has been chosen as Borders Featured Book Club selection as well as a Target Breakout Book. Still, she considers her greatest accomplishment that her bus was the centerfold for Bus Conversions magazine, thus fulfilling a life-long ambition of being a Miss September. 

QUEEN OF THE ROAD reviews: 

&quot;Eat, Pray, Love - without the depression.&quot; - Denver Magazine.

&quot;A Charles Kuralt-Albert Brooks-style romp where they meet up with nudists, robbers and more. Required Reading.&quot; New York Post

&quot;Hot Summer Read.&quot; Chicago Tribune

&quot;Beneath its fun and frothy exterior, you'll find in this wild ride across America's highways and byways a lovely portrait of a marriage that treats its ups and downs with humor and grace.&quot; - Elle Magazine.

&quot;Orion has every good travel writer's ability to make readers feel they are there, to capture the telling details of places, and to present the account in a witty, accessible way. Reading the book makes you want to hit the road and have some of your own grand adventures. This is a fun read that will make just about anyone start itching for a road trip. Grade A.&quot; - Rocky Mountain News.

“Part travel memoir, part diva-on-a-bus-tour comedy.” - 5280 Magzine

“A charming, insightful and – most important – hilarious book that evokes the best of Bill Bryson and David Sedaris, but spotlights the unique voice of a gifted memoirist.&quot; -
Jonathan Kellerman, NYT Bestselling novelist

&quot;Queen of the Road is basically what would happen if you took me, gave me a modicum of maturity and a better education, and then tricked me into living on a (very nice) bus with my husband and pets for a year. I loved this book and I love this author.&quot; - Jen Lancaster, bestselling author of Bright Lights, Big Ass, Bitter is the New Black and Such a Pretty Fat


&quot;Two psychiatrists driving a motor home around America, and you're still wondering whether to buy this book? Step on the gas and go straight to the register.&quot; –Jeff Arch, Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE

&quot;Doreen Orion has a fresh, wry voice that's all her own and she works it like a rodeo rider in her light-hearted and yet tender new memoir, Queen of the Road.&quot; –Jacquelyn Mitchard, New York Times bestselling author of THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN 

“His dream — he’s always wanted to see America in a converted bus — and her nightmare —she has a bus phobia — and their mid-life crisis on wheels, make for a hilarious reading adventure.” 
–Mary-Lou Weisman, author of TRAVELING WHILE MARRIED 

&quot;... proves, with abundant laughs... that sometimes the best way to enrich home-life is to leave the home...or, better yet, just put it on wheels.&quot;
- Franz Wisner, bestselling author, HONEYMOON WITH MY BROTHER

&quot;You will never look at a psychiatrist the same way again. And you will never take a bus driver for granted, either.&quot; - John Robison, bestselling author, LOOK ME IN THE EYE 
   
“The ultimate fantasy road trip.” - Quick &amp; Simple Magazine.



Doreen and Tim are married psychiatrists with a twist: they refuse to settle for the mundane, whether at work or in relationships. She’s a self-proclaimed Long Island Princess addicted to shoes, as well as a grouchy couch potato. He's an affable – though driven - outdoorsman. When Tim suggests “chucking it all” to travel cross-country in a converted bus, Doreen asks, “Why can’t you be like a normal husband in a mid-life crisis and have an affair or buy a Corvette?” But she soon shocks them both, agreeing to set forth with their 60 lb. dog, two querulous cats, and no agenda, in a 340-square-foot bus.

Queen of the Road is Doreen’s offbeat and romantic tale about choosing the unconventional road with all the misadventures]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[My greatest influence is my husband, who got me to live on a bus for a year and in the process, give up most of my shoes.]]></influences>  <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Brooklyn, NY</hometown>  <born_at>08/31/1959</born_at>
