About the Book
I’m A Boomerang
Finding My Way Back
I've overcome a lot.
A quadruple bypass. Statin-induced rhabdomyolysis. Necrotizing myopathy, also known as Myositis. Dyslexia. ADHD. Tinnitus. Three back fractures. And most recently, two stents.
How do I do it?
That's the question.
I bounce back.
Like a boomerang.
Life knocks me down. Somehow, I find my way back.
Sometimes that journey takes months. Sometimes it has to happen every single day.
It isn't easy.
But I keep coming back.
I’m A Boomerang is the story of that journey—the setbacks, the struggles, the moments when giving up seemed easier, and the determination to keep finding my way back.
It's a story about resilience, hope, and refusing to stay down.
And if I've learned anything along the way, it's this:
If I can find my way back, maybe you can too.
Want a taste?
Do you want a taste of my book? Here’s how the book got its name.
Last night I picked up a young woman and two of her friends. I was driving them downtown to the piano bar when somehow we started talking about my book.
She asked me the title.
I cringed.
I do that a lot when someone asks me the name.
It was The Pain of a Tiny Pill.
And I can't tell you how many times people thought it was a book about drug addiction.
Grrr.
I sigh.
I don't have a drug problem.
Well...
I do have a drug problem.
Just not that kind of drug problem.
When I wrote this book, the title meant everything to me.
I was in pain.
Real pain.
And it really did begin with one tiny pill.
That tiny pill changed my life.
For years, it felt like it had taken everything from me.
Today...
I'm better.
I'm hopeful.
I'm positive.
And I want to lift up the world around me.
Then I realized something.
This story was never really about the pill.
It was about what happened after.
Every setback.
Every comeback.
Every time life knocked me down...
I found my way back.
I just don't think I can carry that old title anymore.
Not because it was wrong.
Because it belonged to the man who needed to write this book.
This title belongs to the man who lived it.
So...
It became I'm A Boomerang.
That's me.
Life throws me farther than I'd ever like to go.
Somehow...
I always find my way back.
Thanks.
