Sinopsis

People Would Buy Tickets is my first attempt at creatingfiction. Do not be misled into thinkingI am getting tremendously creative here. Realistic fiction becomes fiction only because I have changed the namesof people and the titles of the places where it was necessary. I am still telling stories that reallyhappened, only embellishing where I lack details or think it would be moreinteresting. The part of this book thatis really fictional and dreamt up is in the descriptions and actions of themain characters, but I am still using stories from, and characteristics of,people I have known personally. Thatsaid, Heck and Count arewholly fictional characters, and are not meant to symbolize or representanybody.When I began thisproject, the title of the book was, CountIs Clear. After carefulconsideration, that title works only if you are familiar with correctionaljargon. I had intended some word playwith the term count, and a main character, Count, but it does not work if youare not already familiar with the term as it applies to corrections, and thecharacter. The title that I decided on, People Would Buy Tickets, comes from aco-worker, who does not want his name mentioned here. Many of you know myprevious work, and realize that I was simply writing about things that reallyhappened. There is not much writingtalent in regurgitating, just a skill for translating real life to paper. The primary characters are all fictional, asis much of their background, but the inter-woven humorous short stories are mostlyfactual, if only slightly embellished events related to me by co-workers and myown experiences while working in the corrections field.
