What inspired you to write your memoir?
I wrote because I wanted to own my story, not the government. I wrote it to be of service to those that might suffer from what I suffer from. I wrote it to entertain. I wrote it because I’ve always wanted to publish a book.
About your Book:
SEX LAW CIGARETTES ALCOHOL
As related in his harrowing yet hopeful memoir, Straight Pepper Diet, Joseph was raised by his mom, a heroin addict turned shut-in depressive, amidst crime and poverty. He survived, graduated from Pepperdine Law School and passed the Bar. However, at age 32, Joseph’s American Dream life became a nightmare when his addictions to sex and alcohol collided and exploded.
“On Tuesday, I was a respected civil trial lawyer making six-figures. On Wednesday, I woke up handcuffed to a hospital bed charged with attempted murder … and then it got worse.”
How do you see writing a Memoir as different from writing other genres of books?
It’s true, so I think it effects the reader. I’ve been a fan of memoir for a long time, and it means more to me than a fiction work. It was very difficult to write about something so intense.
