I got infamous writing mysteries, so here's the big mystery plot for this book. How did a shy, introspective kid from upstate New York, without a lot of guidance or role models, go on to become the youngest ever CEO of the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson, North America?

When I write, I pretend there's one person sitting across from me, and I don't want them to get up until I'm finished with the story. Right now, that person is you.
