(Kepler Press/Cambridge, Massachusetts)

This novel is loosely, and I do mean loosely, based on my experiences in the United States Air Force. The book is set in the early 1970s and focuses on the narrator’s attempts to escape from his New-Jersey/New York drifting ways and find some meaning and direction in his life before it’s too late for him. This may sound like an old theme, but it remains a good one–if handled correctly.

It is excessive stimulation that affects the brain, resulting in a chemical need for more of everything, such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, technology, food, and stress, which results in a state of addiction.

James Benjamin, author of Master Of Disguises
(Author House)

James Benjamin is a living miracle. He was on a path towards destruction, and through his faith in God, was saved. In his first, self-published book titled “Master of Disguises,” James guides readers through his compelling story of struggling in the street life, and finding sanctuary through The Lord. Most importantly, he unveils the enemy and the many disguises the enemy has. He provides inspiration where many feel hopeless, and educates individuals who are lost as he once was. James lives to tell his story to help keep young men and women off the streets and away from the grips of the enemy.

Benjamin’s story is one that attracts the groups that are hard to communicate to: teens and their parents, prisoners, people living the street life and their families, and the African-American street community. Those that are experiencing hardships can easily listen to James as he used to be in their shoes. His prospective is inviting, as he leaves no secrets and lays out his life for the readers. James guides readers through his experience of being incarcerated and the challenges that he has faced.
