Overview

Intriguing, captivating, enlightening, explosive, alarming, disturbing, inviting, embarrassing, disheartening, slanderous, scandalous, harmful, dangerous, and funny. Harolene C. When was the last time you heard a book described this way? It kind of makes you want to read it, now doesn't it? Some have advised me not to publish this book without heavy redactions. I disagree. I think the raw honesty of it. The bold display of truth and vulnerability is what makes it almost impossible to put down. You can get a book with sterilized facts anywhere. This book, however, is going to take you on a journey with many different highs and lows. After just the first page you will be anxiously anticipating getting to the next... and that doesn't stop, even after getting to the end. This book contains both of the books I have written about my life so far and tells the story of me going to prison as a teenager for a crime that I DID NOT commit. The first book 'The Jungle' takes the reader on the same journey that I went through during my 11 years of incarceration. Included are short stories about each place that I was sent to as well as illustrations and poetry that I wrote along the way to help preserve the emotions of the time. The second book 'Serial Entrepreneur' details how I continued to be incarcerated, even after being released. What coming home was like, and how I started and successfully built not one but four different businesses and then came to be honored, nationally recognized, and given the prestigious 'Culture Keeper' award from Master Networks. The nation's fastest-growing business networking organization. This book guarantees all three - laughter, tears, and inspiration. Read it now, don't wait for the movie.

Author Information

My name is Mark and I have a lot of stories to tell. I have lived quite an eventful life. As an adolescent, I served 11 years in the Florida Dept. of Corrections for a crime that I DID NOT commit. I wrote a book about the journey of my life during that time. Included are lots of stories about life on 'the inside' as well as stories of Hope, Determination, and and of how i chose to let the experience make me a better person as opposed to a bitter one. It's called 'The Jungle' and in it I bared my soul, and told the truth. Upon completion of that book. I immediately set out to write another.This second book made Book Two of an autobiographical trilogy that I plan to write about my life. This one is titled 'Serial Entrepreneur' and it covers my life and maturation process post release. In it I detail my struggles to find employment, struggles with addiction, marriage and how I got clean and started my own business, and then another one, and another one, and another one still. It includes lots of photos and stories of triumph and defeat as well. It offers encouragement and a path out of hard times to anyone that may be struggling themselves with wanting a better life, or seeking information on how to grow their business.I decided to put these two books together in one volume so that they would be read together as one inspiring story. As the end is quite a bit different than the end.I'm often asked, besides your autobiography series, what other types of books do you write? That is a question without a definitive answer. I write because I want to. I write because I feel I have something valuable to say and to share. Some of my books are filled with personal experiences and life stories. Others are filled with tutorial type information and are meant bring value and shared wisdom to your life.I write about things I know. That's the only answer that I can give to that question. I am usually working on two or three new projects at a time. They are usually vastly different in scope, but all are things that I am passionate speaking about.I understand that I am not like other authors that would advise me to stick to one genre. But nothing about me is like anyone else either. so I find Happiness and Peace in just being me and I am different than everyone else.I would encourage you to be different too.Mark
