Finding audience

I wish I could find a free place that provides some type of current data on book readers. Sure, I found out that the area I am in is mostly women, which told me a basic age group.

But that doesn't tell me what they are looking for in a book. For example, would they prefer a gay romance to have only guy characters? If it was a gangster book, does the leader have to be gay? Is interracial preferred?

Chains

When I was on the other side, they would chain my wrists. Then they would chain my feet. I had to walk.

The guards who did it were doing their job. The problem was that they wanted me to keep up. They always walked faster.

This is a story that I should write more about. Comments.

Did anyone ever notice?

When I was in prison, we had a saying, "Yes, yes, but no." I had the program committee and a p-board to listen to.

For my time in prison, the p-board said it. I actually gave up on trying to convince them to set me free. I played the game: Sure, I'm reformed; Yes, I got college; Yes, not a lot of conduct reports. You get the idea. Then, they reminded me, from the point of 11 years to the point of 30, what a piece of shit I was. Tough crowd there. They always want me to relive my crime. In other words, live in the past and don't move forward. Oh, yeah, yes, yes, but no

The program committee was basically the same. The difference was they started out reminding me of my crime and what a piece of shit I was. I played the game: While in max, can I go to medium? While in medium, can I go to minimum? Keeping it simple: Yes, you're doing good; Yes, you're programming, but No, you're stuck.

It was amazing after all those years; the day they granted me, I was SHOCKED they acted like my crime was not there. That taught me: When they stop talking about your crime, you're going home!

The program committee was the same. WOW!

The other thing: when they booted me out, I got no real help from the powers that be. I was lucky I had a good agent; he wanted retirement. I had other friends who got out, and the agent wanted to restart the process. It's time to learn how to relive your life by my rules.

If you have any experiences you want to share, hit me up.

I am wondering about the education received?

During my time in prison, I started college at the 2-year level and managed to work my way up to a PhD. My doctoral paper is now a book.

Now, the system I was in, I'm not sure, but I think it turned into mostly G.E.D.

Others, the few, got to work with an electrician, painter, or plumber, getting hands-on learning. Some learned how to cook in the kitchens.
