I can remember it like it was yesterday. I finally finished and self-published my first book “100 Years: A Journey to End a Vicious Cycle.” I didn’t actually choose to be an Author, being an Author chose me. I say this because I realized that I needed to make significant changes in my life after serving more than a decade in prison. While in the process of making these changes, I realized that I was in the midst of a family vicious cycle. I noticed that many of the males in my family ended up in prison. I wrote down the names of my cousins and myself who’ve been in prison and added the time spent. With about 5 or 6 individuals, we quickly past 100 years in prison. This is where the title “100 Years” comes from. I knew at that moment that I had to do all that I could to break this vicious cycle. In addition to making positive changes in my own life, I then wrote the book. I poured my heart out and took responsibility for the part that I played in this story. I had to be honest with myself in this process. Though it was painful, it had to be done. My goal is now to prevent others from following in my footsteps. Mark thanks anyone who purchased, read, or supported his book in any way.
