Jackass is finally finished and published.

This was the most difficult book I have ever written. Jake wasn't easy to get to know. He fought me every step of the way.

He wouldn't allow me to take the easy route and just write prison therapy sessions. For that, he would have needed to be honest with his psychiatrist... and that wasn't something in which he was interested.

He wouldn't even let me create a sympathetic 'friend' character for him to confide in. He doesn't trust.

In the end... I had to just have an honest, one on one conversation with him. Yeah... just Jackass Jake... and me.

I do think he and I were able to tell his life story in a way that honored his wishes and will make for an interesting read. It got far more graphic than I originally intended, but he insisted that his story be told his way... so there you have it.

I do hope you... enjoy... the book. I'm eager to hear what everyone thinks of it.

Happy Reading!
