My Time with Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley is a one-of-a-kind narrative that I was compelled to pen. It's not just another celebrity encounter but a personal odyssey of love, hope, challenges, and changes that we navigated over our extraordinary four years together.

This book is not a tabloid rag one might pick up at the checkout counter of your local supermarket. This story is about love, hope, challenges, and changes; you may find some joy and inspiration. 

I am privileged to have shared this unique phase of my life with two remarkable women, Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley. This four-year journey has been a springboard for profound personal growth and transformation, a testament to the power of hope and inspiration.

For many of my friends who read this, you will recognize me immediately. Many who think they know who I am may be surprised and come away with a deeper appreciation of themselves and the choices and relationships they have experienced.

This book celebrates love, not fear or hate. It’s about a brief journey filled with all the emotions life offers and the personal transformations we experienced together. It's a story of hope and inspiration that I'm excited to share with you.

Life is about choices and experiences, their results, outcomes, and consequences. The bottom line is having the courage and discipline to accept 100% responsibility for the consequences of your choices and actions.
