What inspired you to write your book?
Home, James! is an entrant in the Kindle Storyteller 2017 writing contest hosted by Amazon UK. The grand-prize winner will receive an exclusive book contract with Amazon and a cash award of 20,000 British Pounds. Prizes will be given at a ceremony in London, England in July 2017. This unique contest inspired me to write the book, not just to try and win but to produce a book that was commercially viable.
Here is a short sample from the book:
James woke up with a start. He realized that he had fallen asleep in the gazebo. He sat up and pushed back his chauffeur’s cap looking around for Alison. He could hear a splashing sound coming from the water at the end of the jetty. Then he saw her. She was in her white bathing-suit duck-diving into the water, her body glistening wet in the light of the afternoon sun. James felt his heart rate go up and for a brief moment he could barely breathe.
