First published 2021
Craig Schmell has mastered the art of appearing where he doesn't belong. He talks his way onto Grammy stages to sing with stars. He gets high in the Kremlin's halls. He rides in presidential motorcades. His talent for infiltrating exclusive events has given him access to Hollywood's biggest names and rock legends. But Craig's self-centered approach to life catches up with him. When everything falls apart, he faces a choice between continuing his charade or finding genuine meaning. The crash forces him to examine who he really is beneath the lies and performances. Through his journey from imposter to authentic person, Craig discovers that real connections matter more than celebrity encounters. His transformation from selfish gate-crasher to someone capable of genuine relationships becomes the heart of his story.
