    Growing up, Gram was my best friend. We shared a double bed in my family’s cottage until I was nine. Fifteen years later, I got the call that she’d fallen and hit her head. All I could see was her mouthing, “Don’t you love me enough to come back home?” I wept on the plane as I began to write her story, the one she’d asked me to write in ninth grade. 
    Gram and I were polar opposites. She spent much of her life barefoot and pregnant. I was a gay, career-driven, independent decision-maker. 
    Searching through old relics, we found a time capsule in Gram’s drawer, revealing clues to her dark era, her 1957 breakdown. Dark green pills, a bank book, scribbles on an envelope: answers to unasked questions. She survived stress and abuse without things I take for granted: income, a car, stocked pantry shelves. She did it all with unconditional love, never revealing her pain. 
    I’d spent my adult life avoiding becoming a “traditional” woman, but her death freed something in me. I realized the importance of child-rearing, understanding a woman like me can balance career and family. Love and support create happy, healthy kids. I could pass Gram’s spirit onto a child, braiding generations together from lifetime to lifetime.

    A coming-of-middle-age memoir, about the search for love, friendship and the ever-elusive Mr Darcy 
     
    Prince Charming? Happily ever after? Childhood fairy tales are full of promises, but the reality - life - is a very different story. And that story has a hell of a lot to teach us.

    Jim is a former Australian Commando Intelligence Operative that had once lost his way. He now works in Brisbane as an authour, speaker and fitness consultant. 
    His autobiography "Underworld Commando" leaps out of a 1980s Kings Cross world of crime, corrupt police, commandos and some of the most notorious, infamous mob identities in Australian crime history. 
    Jim gives the true-crime account of his double life as a Special Forces soldier and moonlight enforcer for the mob's Lennie 'Mr Big' McPherson and 'Salami' Kon Kontorinakis. At the Sydney Hilton in 1991 the "good times" come to a sudden stop with a fierce gunfight against 3 corrupt police sergeants of the Infamous NSW Armed holdup Squad. The Hilton gunfight brought NSW Police corruption to a halt and launched the Wood Royal Commission into Police Corruption and cascading Pandora's Box of evils. 
    Jim draws on his skills to traverse the decades beyond the gunfight, escape, courts and robberies, prison, informers, fights, a fake murder trial, the Wood Royal Commission, reform, shot after his release, repatriation, resilience and determination to start over again and again. 
    Having survived all, he now fights against a global 'Order of Evil' intent on depopulating the Earth and genetically downgrading the human race into forced slavery. 
    This time, he's on the right side.
