How writing nearly cost James P Sumner his life
The Indie Author Mindset Podcast
01/20/20 • 23 min
In this special guest interview episode, I speak to thriller author James P Sumner.
James went from dreaming of writing a book to being a full-time author earning a strong mid-five-figure income. Then he lost it all.
The stress of his writing career cost him his marriage, his mental and physical health and almost his life.
Now back in the rat-race whilst writing in his spare time, James reflects on what went wrong, how other authors can avoid making the same mistakes — and how this time he's going to make it work.
