When James Cubby first mentioned his book, South Beach Star, Wire Magazine was excited to learn about it. Cubby, as he is lovingly referred to by his friends, was a small town guy, who went from a non-existent party scene to one of the most over the top party destinations in the world, and then got to write about it! His book, South Beach Star, immediately captivates you with the story of the lead character, Jamie Kidd. After his ex-boyfriend left him heartbroken, penniless, and close to suicide, Jamie decides to make a new life for himself in South Beach. After taking on a job with the local weekly, the South Beach Star, Jamie is given the opportunity to write the local “What’s Happening” column, providing all the juicy details on the various parties, late night antics, and celebrity gossip. He immediately goes from reporting on the latest happenings to actually becoming somewhat of a local celebrity himself.
