The day I broke up with normal was the first day of my magical life.
When Simon Williams was 14 he wrote out a series of accomplishments he wanted to achieve in life in his journal. His diary was found by some older students, they read what he had written and they then teased the shit out of Simon for it. This bullying had a profound effect on him. He became determined to show up every one of the boys who humiliated him by achieving everything he wanted to.
But life has a way of saying, not so fast young man.
A person can dream all they want, but when the rubber hits the road things might not turn out how they envisioned it was going to. And that is certainly the case with Simon's life. His experiences have to be read to be believed. No one else can ever claim to have seen more of the good and bad that this world has to offer, or of themselves. But what an amazing feeling it is to really know yourself.
The collection of deliberately arbitrary stories in this first of the five book WANDERLOST series will initially put you into the jumbled and unsettled mind that Simon has as he approaches 50. With everything he has been through in life he is starting to question his own worth, his own sanity. His adventures and the whole point of life makes no sense to him, well nothing probably should when a hired hitman introduces themselves to the author in his hotel lobby and shows pictures of Simon taken during the day while he walked around a shopping mall in Rio de Janeiro. And that was only a Tuesday.
Join Simon as he humorously, and with no small measure of self deprecation, recounts the most character defining moments of his life as he seeks to find an answer to the unanswerable question, 'what if he had done it all differently?'
