What initially was self-reflection to heal wounds and renew hope became James Robert Russell's newest work, "Delicious Rejection: The Memoirs of a Hopeless Romantic" (published by iUniverse).
"Delicious Rejection" chronicles a life from boyhood to manhood through short stories, poetry and personal observations. It is passionate, descriptive, humorous, and often times painful, but ultimately a valiant search for love and romance.
"I just want readers to experience it as I did," explains Russell, "to hear it, see it, smell it and taste it. I would like them to process it in their minds, feel it in their hearts and let it linger in their souls."
Excerpt from, "Delicious Rejection"
"I forged a bond with them that was hardened by the trials of being on the road together, while all the time and tenderness kept it malleable. We were many hours more than friends, seconds from lovers and light years from being mere co-workers."
