    I love stories. Back before TV on demand I'd read during ad-breaks and anytime I went anywhere, I travelled with a stack of books. I read and write across a range of genres and formats. My portfolio includes a fantasy novel, film and TV scripts and plenty of short stories. Being able to write for a living would be a dream come true, so I'll keep banging my head against the proverbial brick wall...!

      Joshua Mohr: The Time I Robbed a Liquor Store

      Mar 10, 2017

      Our alibi was a sandy blanket in the back of my truck, an acoustic guitar, a knockout brunette in the passenger seat. Our alibi was a night picnic at the beach. When we got pulled over—if we got pulled over—the cop would peer in the cab and he’d thin

      Re-Formed I

      Time is elastic. 

      Not literally, or at least if it is, I wouldn’t know – physics was never my thing.  What I mean is that when you’re young a single day seems endless, filled with countless possibilities.  Once you creep past thirty, 24 hours is a blur that gets broken up into a thousand pieces – shopping, bills, work, relationships, Instagram, kids, gardening, holidays, drugs, booze, Facebook, sports, gambling, religion, violence, sex, pornography, TV and all the other shit we fill our lives with.

      Prison helps slow things down, no matter how old you are. Too much time to think, too much time to suffer.  I’ve just spent over 1000 days as an inmate and it seemed like 10,000.   

      So here I am, a thirty-plus American male with grey flecked hair and soft brown eyes that nearly caused me some trouble on the inside.
