Relentless Aaron
Relentless Aaron, the self-proclaimed father of Urban fiction is profiled today in the NYT. I got to say selling books on buses headed to prisons is absolutely brilliant. Pretty bold too. I may not want to do it, but talk about reaching your audience.
Okay, my favorite quote from the piece:
"It's true, there are too many distractions on the outside," he said. "Sometimes I have to lock myself in a hotel room with no phone or TV. Sometimes I just get in my truck and drive to a deserted place for a while. But I'll never have it as good as prison again. For writing, anyway."

pretty spectacular quote, that.
relentless aaron is just that, relentless. i've met him and spoken with him several times. his boldness is his defining characteristic. and he's not a bad writer either.
Writing in prison was my greatest experience as well. I only wish that my first five years would have been spent doing such, instead of only the last two. Your Northern Most Author Ajani.
