PRISON WRITING - UNCUT.

Dear Reader,
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 it. This gave me the confidence to write another book about drugs and arms deals based on actual events. The book is now published and is titled,THE ASSASSINS CODE 1.
This book was not the product of a prison cell. It was done when 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.
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 Bapaume prison and eventually going to Fresnes Prison, the harshest of French prisons. I was eventually extradited to Spain where I was held in Soto del Real Prison, then across Madrid to Valdemoro Prison and finished my time in Daroca Prison, Satan's Arena, near Zaragoza. I have published this book as an e-book on Amazon kindle and Smashwords. It is titled, SATANS' ARENA. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Satans-Arena-Christopher-Chance-ebook/dp/B0045OUGCE/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
This book is not for the squeamish or the politically correct brigade and like my previous prison books has plenty of anti-Spanish and French sentiment due to my undiluted emotions at the time of writing because of the treatment I received at the hands of my jailers. Welcome to the brutal, ugly and dangerous corridors of Satan's Arena. However, regarding political incorrectness, I intend to write further about 'nonces' (paedophiles), 'irons' (homosexual men in prison) and about various Arab and Gypsy tribes. The writing will be about my own personal experiences; bad and horrendous, during the time I spent in 11 (yes, eleven) different prisons.

I'm so glad to hear that you found a way to turn your life around. Writing is a well-known therapeutic art form, although I never knew to what extent until I read your story. I do hope it continuously relieves you from the pressure of your past mistakes. Anyway, do keep us posted with updates, Christopher. All the best to you!
