Rev Your Harley and Save the USA, by Art Smukler, MD, author & psychiatrist

How is it possible to be a psychiatrist and not live with millions of fantasies circulating amongst the billions of neurons that run my brain? Not possible. Even after years of retirement, they are just as alive and even more fun. Nothing wrong with making yourself laugh.

In my imagination, POTUS finally deports the wrong group, hundreds of Harley-Riding illegal immigrants who NEVER broke the law except to flee poverty, corruption, and too many tacos.

What to do?

Being the brilliant psychiatrist and author that I am, I have the answer. My wife of many decades disagrees with the “brilliant” adjective, but she’s only one in a thousand. So to prove her wrong, I need a thousand readers to agree with me. Well, maybe just one or two.

Imagine instead of going to Sturgis, South Dakota, thousands of Harley guys and gals on big Hogs, Sportsters and Softails ride to DC and show the King of Narcissism what they really think of him. Listen to the roar, picture the tattoos, imagine busty girls wearing helmets and teeny-weeny bikinis. In the background, Bob Dylan is bellowing out a new folk song screaming all about freedom, decency, and POTUS in an orange jumpsuit.

I’m there too, smoking a pipe and getting another wear out of my black cardigan sweater. Not really. My daughter convinced me to stop smoking over forty years ago and I don’t own a black cardigan. But, I’ll be right there with the Harley leaders on my silver Softail and revving my engine. Not really… I will be watching it on TV and wishing. I’m actually afraid of being fatally maimed on the streets of LA.

Wait. To prove everything is not a total fantasy, I did have a cycle many years ago – a Honda 350. See, I am somewhat cool.

Step into the Mind of a Psychiatrist—If You Dare.
Art Smukler MD’s psychological suspense series isn’t just fiction—it’s a visceral plunge into the human psyche. With decades of experience as a psychiatrist and a storyteller’s flair, Smukler crafts gripping tales where trauma, mystery, and survival collide. From the gritty streets of Philadelphia to the shadowy corners of Los Angeles, his characters—often doctors, patients, and seekers—navigate twisted plots that blur the line between reality and delusion.

Whether it’s Little Italy, where a med student is hunted by killers and haunted by his past, The Secret of Carol Rosa, where a psychiatrist’s stalker forces him into a dangerous psychological maze, or Patient X, where a failed writer hides in a psychiatric ward to escape international assassins—each novel is a masterclass in suspense, psychology, and raw human emotion.

If you love thrillers with depth, danger, and a dose of Freudian chaos—this series is your next obsession.

A fellow writer who loved my novels kindly shared this with me.

Hope you love them as much as she did!

Thanks,

Art
