Something About Me and My Book:

I went to a party when I was 11 and didn't get back until I was 45. More than 30 years of drug and alcohol addiction ended with a stretch in prison. When I was released I went to school and didn't stop until I earned a Ph.D. My doctoral dissertation set the foundation for my first published book, Scumbag Sewer Rats: An Archetypal Understanding of Criminalized Drug Addicts. Pictured here is my second book, released on 1 January 2013. For more on me, please click here! to read the Desert Dispatch newspaper article that was written about me.

  Ok John

  You have a new life and a new book. Good on ya! What are you doing to market your book? You are not far from me when we snowbird in the winter. Maybe we can meet at a writers conference in the desert somewhere. May it go well with you. Alaska Jim

  Congratulations on your great accomplishment. A past Sunday School teacher of mine used to say, "There are no mistakes made. Only great lessons learned." Boy, have I ever learned a lot of great lessons. We are all a work-in-progress. Kudos to you for sharing your insights for the benefit of others. Best wishes to you and good luck,
