About this event

We will be joined by the authors for this event! Copies of the book will be available to purchase. Please register online. Meet artist, small-business owner, and formerly incarcerated bank robber, Daniel Killion. In the mid-'90s, pre-consciously aware of "wage slavery" and "systemic racism," and after seeing the iconic film Point Break, he is inspired to rob banks. It's a romantic life-defining spree that ends in Danny (alias: Paul Blackman) inevitably getting "busted." We follow him into the correctional system where he serves 12 years in four distinct state and federal institutions. At age 50, he's free, but embroiled in a dispute with local police, a few months into the pandemic, while BLM protests surge 2023; 138 pages.

Registration not required but recommended to receive an email reminder.
