About the Book

Beyond The Comfort Zone' is the remarkable true story of one man's extraordinary journey, from the stages and T.V. Studios of the world to the Jungles of South East Asia. As one of the UK's premier session musicians James M Turner led a life most only dream about, playing Saxophone with some of the worlds best selling artists and travelling the globe performing to legions of adoring fans. So, as he stood on stage at Wembley Stadium, raised his Sax and 70,000 people screamed into the night air, he could have been forgiven for thinking that his life would always be this way. A few short years later however he would find himself deep in The Golden Triangle, fighting for his sanity and survival as he attempts to infiltrate and capture those engaged in the tearful trade of Human Trafficking. "The low pass by the chopper had brought back that ominous feeling. There was something sinister about that sound. That relentless, winding, bass frequency Doppler. Something about the way it penetrated deep inside the chest cavity and rumbled through the organs made me nervous. What was going on over the border? What plans were being hatched? What stories were being told to prise daughters from their mother's arms and what heartbreak was seeding itself permanently in the breast of mother and child? I could feel the dark maw of the pit opening up again..."

James M. Turner is an author, composer, musician and screenwriter.

During the mid 80's establishes himself as a popular choice for successful pop groups of the day and goes on to play with many international acts including UK pop phenomena 'Bros' and 'Take That' Moves to Thailand in 2002 which is largely the setting for his first auto-biographical memoir 'Beyond The Comfort Zone' based partly upon his experiences there. Relocates again in 2005 to Los Angeles California and begins to work in the Film business, working on films such as Crystal Sky Pictures 'Tekken', 'Death Race 2' (2010) as well as 'Annihilation Earth' and 'Witchville' for the Sci-Fi channel. His first Television series screenplay 'The Taker' is heading for production late 2010. Besides his other talents James is a keen swimmer and linguist.
