My New Book PENAL ENVY On Sale Now!
by Jaden
This past year, I have not spent as much time as I would have liked writing posts for Screenwriting for Hollywood because I have been busy raking words in my new book Penal Envy: Pros and Cons Tell How They Found Happiness in Federal Prison.

Penal Envy is a compilation of fictionalized tales based on personal accounts told by non-violent convicts in a low-security United States Federal Prison in the late 1980s, a time when wit and ingenuity went a long way.
Do you like the authors Charles Bukowski, J.D. Salinger, Henry Miller, and Vladimir Nabokov, authors who can make raw raunchy naughtiness seem innocent? If yes, then Penal Envy is the book for you.
Written in a humorous first person narrative style, seven convicts tell you about their criminal exploits, how they landed themselves in federal prison, and why it is not so bad there.
The chapters are:
- THE OLD CODGER
- THE STUNG STONER
- THE CEO OF MARY JANE, INC.
- THE WRONG GUY
- THE JEW
- THE CUBAN AVENGER
- THE GAY LOVER
For people on the go who have little spurts of time, but not enough time to dedicate to an entire novel, Penal Envy are a bunch of funny short stories to read while traveling or on public transportation. The book has 154 pages divided amongst seven unique crime stories. Have a laugh while learning about low-security federal prison life.
Go to PenalEnvy.com! Read excerpts and about how the short stories came into existence.
