Praise and Reviews

4/5 Stars

James Schilling is what's commonly known as a "loveable loser": he's a pretty decent guy, but he's not a hit with the ladies, and his job doesn't exactly cause him to jump out of bed in excitement every morning. Things soon change for James, though, when he gets a layoff scare at work one day, leading him to re-evaluate his life and think long and hard about how to make it better. Eventually, he decides to reconnect with his absentee father - who long ago abandoned him and his mother - in an effort to reconnect with his past and fill the lingering emptiness he feels inside...little does James know, though, he can hardly prepare himself for what the surprises of his future hold in store.

In Hello, My Name Is James, author R.M. Hamilton has created the quintessential everyman in James Schilling. Readers of all ages are sure to identify with James' personal quest, as well as relate to his various struggles with identity, fulfillment, and ultimate inner peace. Written in an easygoing, straightforward style, Hamilton's tale unfolds at just the right pace, aptly chronicling the personal and professional metamorphosis that James undergoes. As such, his transformation can serve as inspiration for readers who may find themselves trapped in similar circumstances, on a perpetual quest for personal liberation.

A pleasantly enjoyable read, Hello, My Name Is James will surprise the reader with its powerful, not-so-subtle message regarding the rewards of taking life by the reins and forging your own destiny. If Hamilton's narrative inspires more people to do the same, true happiness in life will no longer remain as elusive as commonly thought.
