First off I was a fan of Michael Jackson; in truth, I couldn't have written this book if I wasn't inspired by his music. After Michael's death, I discovered that there wasn't a book based solely on the 45-year career of a man many believe to be the greatest entertainer of all time. Most of the books that were available focused on the trials and the tribulations. There were so many areas of Michael's career to explore, and several questions I wanted to find the answers to...how did Michael and his collaborators make these record-breaking albums...and what was Michael like as a person away from the public eye? The more I thought about it, the more confident I became that I could take on the challenge of writing this book which did not exist. I knew I had to offer something completely new, to discover the man Michael's friends and associates knew, and to uncover the untold stories and secrets behind this enthralling, yet turbulent career.

Persevere; there will be some tough times when you wish you had never started. If you’re a perfectionist, like me, try to remember that you have to let the book go sometime. You can’t work on something forever.
