Books
From 2006 to 2019, I lived a dream come true and wrote eight books about the incredible world of WWE.
As a New York Times Best-Selling author, my publishing partners included Simon & Schuster, St. Martin's Press, and DK Publishing (Penguin Random House). From first-ever releases to working with sports-entertainment icons and interviewing talent backstage at WWE events - including my car parking in the background as Total Divas was being filmed, this is one of the most fun and memorable periods of my career.
Writing books helped keep my pen sharp in a different way and refine my storytelling skills. Today, I bring these abilities with me when creating branded content.
