Dear Game, We Need to Talk

Anthology · Spoken Word · Visual Art

The Game doesn't come with a warning label. It comes dressed as opportunity, loyalty, and survival, and by the time most people see it clearly, they're already inside it. A collection of letters, spoken word, and art written directly to the Game, by people who know it personally. This isn't a lecture. It's a mirror.

Foreword by Gilda Sheppard, Phd

Featuring letters, spoken word, and artwork from contributors who know the Game personally — the Northwest Edition, the first in a planned series of regional editions.

Every copy sold goes toward putting this book in the hands of a young person inside a juvenile institution. This is the work.

Running With Scissors Playing With Fire

Short Stories · Marcus Altheimer

Some lessons you learn from books. Some you learn from life. And some you only learn after you've already paid the price. A collection of short stories drawn from real experience, set against the backdrop of the streets, the system, and the long road toward something better. This isn't a book about what went wrong. It's a book about what can still go right.

A smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.

Beyond Checkmate

9 Steps · Self-Development · Marcus Altheimer

The board is set. The moves are yours.
