Powe began formulating the book during the pandemic, when he found himself doing what most of it did.

"I was watching all these Netflix things and I was thinking I can create some better stories than what I was watching," he said in a Friday interview. "I tell a lot of stories to people and they say, `You should write them down.' "

That finally clicked for Powe, who sought the assistance of editors at the Los Angeles-based Pacific Ghostwriting, which works with fledgling authors.

He developed an outline for his book and recorded portions of the narrative. Then he worked with his editors, who took his words and put them into book form.

"They wrote it down but that's my story to the T. I love it," he said. "There's a plot twist at the end of the story. They were impressed."
