Shocking Circumstances: Last Shine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781945734076)

Chris Roy was raised in a south Mississippi trailerhood in the midst of ugly Gulf Coast beaches and spectacular muddy bayous, thieving and out thinking, roaming the towns and wilds of rich and poor without a curfew. The criminal ventures of his youth were largely memorable, though a few were regretful. In 1999 a fistfight ended tragically, resulting in a life sentence for Chris in the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Hard knocks are the best teachers - the author learned this too late, but not too late to rid himself of drugs and violence; since his incarceration in January, 2000, Chris hasn't been in a single fight or been involved with drugs - an incredible feat, considering the no-man's land environment he lives in. He still lives a criminal life, though vicariously, through the edgy characters and fast-paced stories he pens hoping to entertain readers. When he isn't writing, he's reading, drawing or looking for prospects to train in boxing. For more about the author, visit www.unjustelement.com
