About James Ward Publishing
The site is created because I’m using a nom de plume for my book writings. James Ward Publishing has ABN number 60926118967 with the goal of self-publishing my first book Zero to Hero paperback ISBN: 978-0-6483976-0-1. plus any others I get to write, with at least two further books in mind.
Acknowledgements
The book is the result of a conversation I had with my stepdaughter in front of the TV. We were commenting on how badly a particular movie plot was written. I said even I can do better than that. She asked me how many books I’d written – which was none. Then she challenged me to write something. An opportunity opened up to do some writing and Zero to Hero, a young-adult Sci-Fi drama created. So I acknowledge without her input and encouragement this book would not exist. I also acknowledge assistance from my brother Robert with aspects of the graphics and editor Alwyn Evans for the constructive input.
Permission to Shine
Sung by Bachelor Girl and written by Bridget L Benenate I used it in the book due to the lyrics matching the narrative of the novel. See lyrics here:
Hey, what would you say If I can’t play the hero tonight Cos lately I’ve been feelin’ like I can’t get anything right I’ve been fading into the woodwork again And I’m feelin’ like I just wanna hide But guess what I’m gonna try something just a little bit Different this time I’m gonna give myself permission to shine I’m gonna shine so bright Gonna make every head wanna turn You’re finally gonna see me Give myself permission to shine Gonna light up the night Shine a little of my light on the world I’ve been crazy I’ve been holdin’ myself back for so long But I’ve got so much I can give Don’t wanna be afraid to be wrong You know I’m not too good at too many Things But I’ve been gettin’ real good at gettin’ Down on myself But guess what I’m gonna try to break free from this Prison I”ve built I’m gonna give myself permission to shine I’m gonna shine so bright Gonna make every head wanna turn You’re finally gonna see me Give myself permission to shine Gonna light up the night Shine a little of my light on the world Oh, that’s right I’m gonna try something just a little bit Different this time I’m gonna give myself permission to shine I’m gonna shine so bright Gonna make every head wanna turn You’re finally gonna see me Give myself permission to shine Gonna light up the night Shine a little of my light on the world
