The Good Thief by James Buchanan

What if the wrong guy, turns out to be the right guy for you? Caesar Serrano thought he screwed up when he landed in the bed of LAPD Officer Nathan Reilly. But when Caesar breaks into the wrong house and stumbles upon a heinous crime, implicating a high ranking LAPD officer, Nate is the only person he knows to turn to. The resulting investigation throws the Blue Brigade into panic. Now he's running for his life and Nate is his only hope for survival. Can two men, on opposite sides of the law, come together to bring a monster to justice?

Jermaine Buchanan went to private schools until he was in seventh grade and excelled academically. He was on his way to a healthy lifestyle after winning scholarships for writing essays. Nevertheless, shortly after graduating from middle school, he discovered a new love: the streets. Jermaine quickly adapted to Norwalk's fast-paced lifestyle, and he unfortunately became a product of his surroundings. Jermaine was not deterred by his misfortune and took the street name Ski to verify his status after a couple close encounters with death and brushes with the law.

Although everyone's experience of incarceration in 1999, especially a lengthy four-life sentence, is unique, Jermaine's was far more difficult than the vast majority of convicts' due to the substantial and persistent medical challenges he has encountered while serving his sentence. Most notably, in 2005, only a year after arriving at USP Allenwood, and at the age of 28, he began having severe leg discomfort and lost his ability to walk. That was just the start of a long and tough struggle in which he fractured many bones in his hands and feet and was forced to use a wheelchair for more than five years as doctors sought a diagnosis and treatment for the problem, during which time he also suffered from terrible agony. He was diagnosed with chronic Psoriatic arthritis in 2006, a significant degenerative disorder that causes inflammation of the joints in the extremities and can lead to shattered bones in the fingers and feet in severe cases.

While imprisoned, he has discovered that he enjoys writing and that it serves as an outlet for his creativity. Jermaine Buchanan's life sentences were reversed on March 13, 2015, and he was resentenced to a total of 365 months. Buchanan's view has remained unpublished because to scandalous FBI processes conducted behind closed doors, but he will soon be free to reunite with his family. Jermaine challenges all readers to look within themselves, to find the power of praise, the power of purpose, and the power of prayer within themselves to overcome hardship, sorrow, and disaster.

Buchanan enjoys telling his tale to the world, and despite his past and present misfortunes, he has triumphed. Ink Pen Kings Publications is delighted to have him as a member of the team.
