The "perfect life" is an impossible dream--or is it?


Aided by an ability to stop time at will, David Preston intends to find out. David is obsessed with making his world perfect: career, love life--everything. Most people settle for less because they know perfection is impossible. But David has a problem: He believes perfection is not just possible but attainable. At least, for someone with his extraordinary gift.


David can stop time at will for everyone but himself. The world freezes around him, giving him "time" to complete tasks on impossible deadlines, compose brilliant answers to sudden questions, and dodge the otherwise unavoidable disasters we can see coming but are powerless to stop.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

This is James Young's first foray into fiction. He has spent over three decades in and around D.C. politics immersed in economic and policy legislation. Alongside degrees from the University of Chicago (B.A.) and Cornell University (M.A., Ph.D.), Young's writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, Washington Examiner, The Hill, American Spectator, The Federalist, Washington Post, New York Post, Barron's, Forbes, Chicago Tribune, Townhall, Blaze Media, San Francisco Chronicle, Cleveland Plain Dealer, and elsewhere.


In his early days, James was Kipling's "cat who walked by himself," working in a steel mill, sailing on the Great Lakes' iron ore boats, tending bar, riding motorcycles, scuba diving, traveling extensively worldwide, and "doing all manner of things that would have consumed fully eight of the Kipling cat's nine lives." He is spending his remaining life more sedately, though still traveling with his family to America's national parks--with only the occasional exotic foray here and there.
