He's the lad from Burnley whose brilliance on the pitch and good looks have drawn comparisons with David Beckham and who has established himself as one of the most exciting cricketers in world. In his first book, James Anderson (or Jimmy, as everyone knows him) tells the story of his life in cricket. His career began at Burnley Cricket Club, where he discovered that he could bowl faster than the rest, before he moved on to Lancashire and then England. His early success made him England's golden boy, before a career-halting injury devastated Anderson. But then came a recent glorious return to form and Ashes triumphs, making this a tale of exuberance, determination and sheer force of character. Jimmy Anderson speaks openly and forthrightly about those he has played with and against, the captains he has known, and outlines his thoughts on some of the biggest issues in the game today. It all makes for a compelling read.
From the moment he was shot down to the final whistle, Jimmy James' one aim as a POW of the Germans was to escape. The Great Escaper describes his experiences and those of his fellow prisoners in the most gripping and thrilling manner. The author made more than 12 escape attempts including his participation in The Great Escape, where 50 of the 76 escapees were executed in cold blood on Hitler's orders. On re-capture, James was sent to the infamous Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp where, undeterred, he tunnelled out. That was not the end of his remarkable story. Moonless Night has strong claim to be the finest escape story of the Second World War.
Jimmy James is still classified homeless when he returns back to the shelter that first housed him, but this time as a case manager. James is determined to help the homeless people sleeping on the floor as new management is hired at the shelter and they start to harass James for everything he does on the job and off the job. James doesn't know if it's because of his, homelessness, criminal record or because they're jealous of James memoirs are finally being edited and published.
Cement Pillow is based on the true life events of author Jimmy James. A homeless and unemployed felon, James desperately seeks refuge when his unemployment is cut off and he runs out of options. Employers reject him, shelters refuse him, and James reconsiders the promise he made to God to give up the lucrative life of gangs and drugs. Determined to beat the odds, James eventually finds a place to lay his head and accepts a minimum wage job at a packaging company. Although he faces a lot more rejection and judgment for his past, he takes every shift he can get and finds a way to keep his head held high.
