Book Cover & Preview Text
It was a cold and wet old Sunday afternoon in Auckland. The look outside did not offer up anything positive to mind, grey skies with on and off showers of rain does not make many people jump for joy. Like it is on most days in Auckland, the motorway heading into the city was gridlocked, and you could see the frustrations on the faces of other motorists trying to get to their desired destinations. You would have to question why so many people were traveling on a horrible wet day like this. The traffic was moving slowly at around 20 KPH and although slow, progress was finally beginning to be made. In the middle of the massive gridlock was a bus, and inside that bus there was no talk, just complete silence. All you could hear inside this bus was the creeks of the brakes and the tooting horns of frustrated motorists alongside.

About the Book
Paul James is a man under the spotlight, often for all the wrong reasons. At age twenty-three, many people believe it’s now time for the out-of-control Paul to grow up and kick his old party-boy ways which has given him the “ticking time bomb” stigma for so long. With all the potential in the world, Paul could find himself losing the one thing that got him to this point in the first place, the faith of his family, the respect of his friends, and most importantly . . . he could lose himself. One event will change the life of Paul James forever. With his dreams over and nothing to live for, the one thing that has criticised Paul for so long could turn into the one thing that will give him his big break and last opportunity to fulfill what the close people around him believe to be his destiny. However . . . There are more than a handful of people that wouldn’t mind seeing Paul James fail in what will turn out to be one of the most controversial decisions New Zealand has ever seen.
