Crime Authors Who Served Time In Prison - Crime Reads

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to the Crime Reads site. There our traveling kitty boy found an interesting post about crime fiction authors.

Why would you want to go back inside?

According to Matthew Iden's post, some crime fiction authors got their story ideas from their own experiences. The post contains information about eight crime fiction authors who actually spent time in prison for committing crimes. These are crimes ranging from bank robbery to murder. Some became bestselling authors while in prison and some after they were released. Some were released from prison and became model citizens and some were released and then committed more crimes and were sent back to prison. Included is biographical information about both men and women crime fiction authors who were prisoners.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Bestsellers, huh? Who says crime doesn't pay?"

Note: This is a long post. Bring two cups of tea and two muffins for today's reading selection.
