Harry Michael wrote Think Again and several short stories and poems during the ten years he was in and out of prison from 1986 to 1996. He was serious about this novel working on it over and over and enlisting editing help from Jeff Joyce who might have been a fellow inmate. If Jeff ever reads this I'd love to hear more of how this novel came to be.

A word to the faint of heart: This is a story written by an inmate for inmates.

Most authors have a Trunk wherein reside the drafts, outlines, ideas, and scraps of stories that never were, might have been, or were never shopped around for one reason or another. In 2019 I finally faced Harry's trunk and began work with the help of NaNoWriMo.org (Camp in July and) the National Novel Writing Month in November. It helps to focus and dedicate a solid month to nothing but my writing. Prison helped Harry focus on and dedicate his time to writing.

He was born with what they call Attention Deficit Disorder nowadays. It was Dyslexia when we were in school and Hyperactivity when he was a toddler. It was hard for him to read but he developed the same love I have for fantasy and science fiction... and writing. We are alike in a lot of ways, so is our writing. The idea is his. I expanded on it.

When looked at in a certain way, Think Again is his life's work.
