    About this ebook

    In November 2019 I was sentenced to 12 months in prison. During this period I worked on two novels while reading various novels, listening to music and drama on the radio and watching television. I was also able to observe the operations of the British prison system and its effect on inmates, as well as reflect on a wide range of social, philosophical and artistic subjects. Some of my musings are serious but not all.
