Another Innocent Man Freed From Death Row
Doug Prade released after 15 years in prison: http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/ea27df9dfb78453d9cf76ad3f86487da/US--Murder-Exoneration#share …
This injustice makes me sick. Doug was sent to death row with no evidence against him. The state paid an expert witness to lie that his teeth matched a bite. It's straight from Alice in Wonderland! Summit County Prosecuting Attorney Sherri Bevan Walsh is appealing the verdict in the hope of putting Doug back on Death Row. How can this state-sanctioned murderess sleep at night. She should be on death row. I just had to Tweet her:

Prisoners Ordered to Destroy Library Books (by Jack)
When
I was working in the prison library, the Arizona Department of Corrections
librarian decided that if a book hadn’t been checked out in a year we were to
pull them off the shelf, tear them in half, and throw them away. We weren’t to
replace them with anything, just destroy them. There were six inmate aides
present when we were told to do this. Another aide and I said that this was
wrong and we wouldn’t participate. We were told that if we didn’t we would be
written up for failure to comply with orders and fired from our jobs. We both
walked out.
Jack
is serving life without parole, and has terminal cancer. Throughout my
incarceration, Jack was a positive influence. He encouraged me to keep
writing, to enter short-story competitions, and we proofread for each other. Jack is seeking pen pals, so anyone interested please email me at attwood.shaun@hotmail.co.uk for his details.

Frankie Talks Chess Trash to Shaun Attwood
On the phone, I ended up talking chess trash with Frankie, the Mexican Mafia hit man I met in prison. It was just like old times, with him demanding to see my "shaved ass."

Party Time Jacket
Here’s the final Party Time jacket. The publisher has incorporated as many of your suggestions as possible. The blurb on the back was written by my talented friend Gabriella Apicella. The smiley face logo from the original acid-house scene ...was suggested by my sister Karen Parsons. Other suggestions were incorporated from Stacey Wood, Mike Richardson, Jill Jan, Claire Bishop, Heather L. McQuaid, Esther Kim, and Ema Stuart. A big thank you, guys! My publisher said, “It's evocative of the era, and lots of ravers should be clamouring to read it!”

Bishop's Stortford College
Today, I was back for the fourth year in a row at Bishop's Stortford College, where I did my first ever talk. The contact teacher reminisced about my first talk, how fresh from prison I paced for the whole hour like a wild animal in loud clunky shoes, with raw nervous energy crackling off me.

TV Interview
Did a ten minute author TV interview at the Loaded magazine studio with presenter Simone Thorogood (pictured). The interview goes on Sky 200 in 2 weeks time. The studio was a hive of artistic energy with everyone dressed like rock stars and club kids. I had my makeup done sat amid a row of Loaded models.
