I must first tell you that writing has turned my life around and I am no longer an adrenalin junkie. Writing in my cell was both therapeutic and time consuming. Reliving the harrowing events to describe them in my books was a means of putting closure on things that could have been mentally debilitating; perhaps this may help soldiers suffering with the after effects of being in action... just a thought. I was thrilled when my first book was published and ecstatic when the second book was on the bookshop shelves next to each other. This gave me the confidence to write another book about drugs and arms deals based on actual events. I have called it The Assassins Code 1. It is now published by Strand Publishers, London, and is available on Amazon.co.uk. This book was not the product of a prison cell. It was done while I was living in Cyprus enjoying the warm climate, which is more of an achievement for me because I am not formally educated and I didn't have the props of a prison to create the reality. This book is also now one of my screenplays. I wrote my third prison book when I was arrested in France in 2007 and thrown into the terrible 17th century Douai Dungeon where I stayed for a while before being sent to Fresnes Prison in chains, leg-irons and manacles! Fresnes is the harshest of French prisons. This was how I was treated and I have never committed a crime in France - I was merely held for extradition. I was escorted through the concourse at Orly airport by four French government guards and two armed Legionnaires with sub-machine guns aimed at me. When I was handed over to the Spanish escorts, they immediately removed the manacles etc., and walked me into the aircraft and gave me a Coca cola and a Mars bar. I was then extradited to Spain where I was held in Soto del Real Prison, Valdemoro Prison and finished my time in Daroca Prison, Satan's arena. I have now published this work as an e-book and it can be viewed at: http://www.amazon.com/Satans-Arena-ebook/dp/B0045OUGCE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=A317O7WZ1CN6AQ&s=digital-text&qid=1286896700&sr=1-1 http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/25588 This book is not for the squeamish or the politically correct brigade and like my previous prison books has plenty of anti-Spanish sentiment due to my undiluted emotions at the time of writing because of the treatment I recieved at the hands of my jailers, I've called it SATAN'S ARENA.  Welcome to the brutal, ugly and dangerous corridors of Satan's arena. I am now an 'optioned' screenwriter with six completed scripts ready for pitching. My agent is Rebecca Watson, The Valerie Hoskins Associates, London.
