Writing about oneself is a difficult task. It's about true confessions, and you must dig deep into your background to achieve your goals. I nearly lost my life this week and feel lucky to be alive to begin this project. I've had a difficult life, to say the very least.

This book is called Blurred Lines. I want to bring you--those of you who have read my book--into my world. Thank you.…
