Follow on Google News | Brighton Publishing LLC signs Chip Valley for “A Whole Other World”Based on actual events, author Chip Valley delivers “A Whole Other World”—an astonishing tale of life as a prison guard and the shadowy places where suicide, murder, and chaos lurk around every corner
It’s 1975, and for one man, trading the bullet-riddled jungles of Vietnam for the heat and humidity of Orlando, Florida, will require a strong desire for change—both mentally and physically. His transformation will begin with the pursuit of a fascinating new hobby—eventually leading to a black belt in Korean Karate— and a new career as a Florida State Prison Guard. For an outsider, though, life behind prison walls is not an easy one, and it doesn’t take long before the job begins to change him inside and out—altering his personality and depriving him of the peace he had sought for so long. His once easygoing attitude was slowly beginning to fade—replaced by a constant distrust and suspicion of those around him—both inmates and guards. But sanity comes in different forms—including a daily mastery of the techniques and skills required to handle hardcore, violent inmates— and peace will be found in the arms of his two children waiting at home. “Author Chip Valley presents a finely crafted and highly refined tale of life between two worlds—one that restrains and punishes—and one that stirs the heart toward hope and peace,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “Built upon a firm foundation of respect and admiration, A Whole Other World offers readers a rare insight into an often misunderstood world, and the lives of those who risk it all to work behind prison walls.” Author Chip Valley grew up in New England, but would eventually make his way to Florida and into a job in his chosen profession of law enforcement as a corrections officer. When not writing, much of his free time is spent motorcycling, playing music, weightlifting, and working on vintage cars from the sixties. Mr. Valley is a Vietnam Veteran and a black belt in Karate, but his ultimate joy comes from his two beautiful children who offered much of the inspiration for his latest work, A Whole Other World.
