I recently posted the chapter, poetry and music for the title, “Can Anybody Hear Me?” , one of the chapters in the book, “Inside The Forbidden Outside.” Last night I uploaded the music video. Little by little I work through finishing all the parts. I can actually see light at the end of the tunnel ( way down at the end and around a corner.)
I have posted some chapters over time of the rewrite, but I haven’t given links to be able to read them with any continuity. I’m going to post them so anyone who wants to can read the early part of the book, to hopefully create enough interest to want the finished product when it is completed. You can subscribe to ITFO News at the and get info on other chapters and music published. I will depending on readers to help share what they like. 50% of the profits go to Jamie sso when he gets out of prison he will have a cushion to help get his life started and also to help write sequel to this book.
This book will end before he is released. The sequel will about the process of getting, and the difficulties, mentally, emotionally and actually living in a society who has already prejudged him as a person. Our society is not very welcoming. There is often so little we can do to help the people who have been abused in our prisons.
But the one thing people can is to support the efforts being made to help them be able to stand up when they get out. If I thought for one minute that he was a threat to society in any way I would not be doing this.
These chapters do not start at the beginning, and don’t entail what happened to put him in Juvenile detention from late 16’s through 21.
Can Anybody Hear Me? ( The post before this one )
I like it… I think it fits with what you got going on.

I sure hope so. The key – with anything – is to “see” it clearly, and with determination do not allow in the slightest doubt. You are what you think you are. Your mind will bring to you what you need to accomplish what ever it is. I see the success as well as where want it to go and that is what I focus on. About month ago my husband told me – gently – to not be disappointed when I fail. He didn’t want me to stop, but rather be realistic. He said I didn’t have the resources to tap into the internet to find enough people who would be interested in piano music and just another prison book. ( He never reads what I write – ever) Some support huh? He said he told me this because he loves me. All that did was make me more determined.

Oh yes, it builds character, but I think I already have enough of that. Now it’s time to reap the fruits of my labor! While I’m still living!

Some people are harder to convince of the truth than others are. when your book is released – i hope with success – he’ll read it. he’ll believe in it.
