Embattled former USVI senator releases 800-page, cutting-edge etiquette book
ST CROIX, USVI -- Former US Virgin Islands senator and senate liaison to the White House, Wayne James, has just released his highly anticipated etiquette book for men, Manly Manners: Lifestyle & Modern Etiquette for the Young Man of the 21st Century.
Published by the iUniverse division of Penguin-Random House, the provocative, edgy, 840-page book – the first of a three-volume treatise totaling 2,100 pages – has been in the making for six years. Since January 2011, the author has lived on three continents and one archipelago – South America, North America, Europe, and the Caribbean – researching and writing the treatise, which is already being called “The most comprehensive work on male comportment”, “Refreshingly inclusive and matter-of-factly cosmopolitan” and “A tour de force”.
James, a Georgetown University law graduate, fashion designer, scholar of Danish West Indies history, and art collector, is also no stranger to controversy. In June 2016, he waived extradition and was returned to the US Virgin Islands from Italy in August to face federal criminal charges for alleged “fiscal inconsistencies” during his 2009 - 2011 senate term.
James was indicted under seal in October 2015 and first became aware of the charges eight months later, in June 2016. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges but was declared a “flight risk” and denied bail until October 7, 2016, when he posted bail and was released under 24/7 lockdown “home incarceration” pending the trial. The trial is scheduled for February 2017.
