This is the first book I have written. The Lord has been gently prodding me to write it for twenty years. I simply could not bring myself to do so. There is quite a bit of danger and violence in this book. I Should Have Been Dead and Gone is the true story of my life, beginning around four years old. Every incident is true, although names and cities have been changed for privacy reasons. I received a lot of healing as I wrote my life story. I wrote this book entirely as the Lord told me to. It was written to give someone hope and encouragement that you too will make it through dark times in your life. If just one person is helped in any way, then my prayer has been answered.
Now a new MTV series, from acclaimed director and executive producer Doug Liman (“Mr. and Mrs. Smith, “Swingers,” “Go,” “Bourne Identity”) Jason Strider is a twentysomething young man in the city, with an English degree from an Ivy League university, a very small apartment in the West Village, a vapid job as a receptionist at a casting agency—and no particular idea what to do with his life. On most evenings, Jason gets stoned and goes out, sometimes with his party-hearty school chum Tina and sometimes alone in the immemorial male quest to get laid or, if not, get hammered enough to really regret it the next day and be late for work. Then one night Jason has athletic, appliance-assisted intercourse with a cute girl named Jane—and ends up lending her his Dickies jeans. Many, many e-mails and text messages later, he is unable to reconnect with her and is reduced to the plaint “I just want my pants back.” How he does, in a most unexpected way, find those pants, and how maturity and mortality come to enter his slacker’s existence, form the matter of this smart, raunchily comic, and finally affecting first novel.
