Taller than the Atom, smaller than Apache Chief.

My perspective on this is informed by having worked as at a state psychiatric hospital for three or so years when I was young, and by having done my training at a couple more while studying toward board certification.

from my own perspective this is one of the greatest harms done by this government and plotting a course to reverse this damage is must be a very priority in our speech and our activism

So the answer to the competition question: my book The Quiet Man has been banned by California's Dept of Corrections — putting me in the company of Stephen King and George RR Martin. Thrilled, honestly. Turns out my prison break method was a little *too* convincing.

A letter on official letterhead from the State of California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), California Correctional Institution dated June 8, 2026. The subject line reads "PUBLICATION WITHHELD PENDING REVIEW." Addressed to McFori Ink Publishing, the letter states that the publication titled The Quiet Man will not be delivered to incarcerated persons at CDCR Mule Creek State Prison pending review, citing a violation of California Code of Regulations Title 15, Section 3006(d), which concerns materials that present a serious threat to institution security or the safety of incarcerated persons. The letter is signed by the Mailroom – MCSP, CDCR. A photo of the book The Quiet Man by Caimh McDonnell is shown in the lower right corner — a red, black, and white cover featuring a snake, playing cards, and prison bars.
