Publisher's Synopsis
This book tells the true, never-before published story of Austin J. Paris, a man who. despite repeated death threats, and having more than seventy-five million dollars stolen from him, became an international best-selling author and a Pulitzer Prize nominee. How Austin Paris alone navigated the polluted waters of skepticism, nay-sayers, and critics to become a renowned lecturer not only for large corporations but for major universities around the world. This book also explains how, through the single-minded efforts of Mr. Paris, the time sharing industry actually got started in the United States and Mexico, and how he, a man being true to himself, triumphs over adversity, while having faith in God coupled with courage, and remarkably transformed his dreams into a reality that positively influenced the lives of untold millions. Author's Note: I am more than excited to introduce my very first novel. This book has taken four years to write, because I put my whole heart and soul into it. This unique work tells the true story of one man, who from the depths of despair, became an international business success, far beyond his wildest dreams. How this one individual overcame ridicule, torment and lies to prove to the world that truth, faith in God, and persistence will always conquer, no matter the odds, or enemies against you. Some of the names and places mentioned are fictional, but the story line and events are factual, exactly as they happened in this amazing saga of a person who never gave in or surrendered to intimidation, doubt, or fear. This book will give anyone who reads it the courage and strength to know absolutely that all things are possible if one only believes. James W. Pickens
