MESA, Ariz. - Jan. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- MESA (AZ)—Brighton Publishing LLC is pleased to announce the print release of A Whole Other World: “Life in the Shadows of Prison”by author Chip Valley. Based on true-life experiences, author and former Florida State Prison Guard, Chip Valley, guides readers on an enlightening, and often terrifying journey behind prison walls into what few have experienced. A Whole Other World is now available in print and eBook at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other leading book retailers nationwide. The print edition is distributed through Ingram Content Group, the world’s largest wholesale book distributor, in addition to being available worldwide through the Xerox Espresso Book Machine Network.

Synopsis: It’s 1975, and for one man, trading the dangerous jungles of Vietnam for the heat and humidity of Florida, will require a strong desire for change—both mentally and physically.

The transformation begins 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, AWhole 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, AWhole Other World.
