    About this ebook

    Dear Readers,

    I finished writing Behind the Seens a couple weeks ago, and I can't tell you how many times I laughed to the point I had to stop typing. Whether it was 'fake' graduating from college, or my first book signing where only nine people showed up, or having a panic attack ten minutes before I was set to go on a live morning show, or wallpapering two rooms with rejection letters, or going to a Writer's Conference and nearly walking out because one of the workshops was called "Plot", or my dad learning how to text message just so he could send me what my ranking was on Amazon; I enjoyed every second of my walk down memory lane.

    What many people don't know is that when Unforeseen first came out ten years ago, it was titled Unforescene (scene spelled like crime scene) and I published it myself. Behind the Seens is the memoir of how a book went from being sold out of the back of a maroon Volkswagen Passat to becoming the #1 book on Amazon and all the struggles, adventures, and triumphs along the way. It is packed with hilarious stories, random lost writings, embarrassing photographs, personal emails, and industry secrets. I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I enjoyed writing it.

    Thanks for reading.

    Nick
