It all happened on accident, you see.

I stumbled upon a story and felt like I needed to share it. Somehow, while on a short trip abroad, in the midst of hedonism, I discovered a tale I wanted to tell.

It so happens, I was inspired to tell the story of my life.

During my weeklong journey, I decided to chronicle my struggles and my successes in a journal that I kept. That journal then became something more.

It’s all led to this book. Raw and real. I hope you enjoy reading it

Please don’t be offended if I do not share as much about myself as other authors do. The whole point of having a pen name is to remain anonymous, after all. I wish to separate the world I’ve stumbled into from the world I stumbled out of. I truly wish those two worlds could come together—they may one day. However, that collision would undoubtedly be chaotic, not only for me, but also for the people around me.

I only wish for privacy. I hope you understand. However, that doesn’t mean I’ll be an inactive author. Please reach out if you have any questions or if you simply want to say “hi.” I’ll try my best to respond promptly. If I don’t, I apologize beforehand—juggling a double life is not easy.

Yours Truly,

James
