Claire, I enjoy how this story stands in stark contrast to the brief description that greets you upon first stumbling across your publication. Initially, I’m greeted with an image of a hardened criminal. But reading your story gives an entirely different, softer perspective. I love what you’re doing. Is your brother a part of it, or is he aware at all that you’re sharing these stories? Either way, I look forward to reading more!

HI Alexandria, thank you for reading this! I wanted to write about something brighter, given the gloominess of Stories About My Bro. That is exactly what I want people to walk away with when coming to this publication -- is that my bro isn't a hardened criminal. He's a good guy who made really stupid decisions. I think a lot of people in prison are very similar to him.

My bro knows what I'm doing and is sort of curious about it. I keep him updated in what I write and sometimes print and mail him stories I write. Honestly, he doesn't have a whole lot to say about it. I think the minute he entered prison, he fell into a depression. :/

But thank you for reading. I appreciate it to much!
