He spent most of his adult life in prison; mostly for non violent crimes. Isaac is of mixed race of Spanish, Southern French and Moorish (North African) blood. Writing had always been a passion for him in the solitary times when spent alone but it was only after his release from prison that he took it up as an author. Isaac is a gay man but not partnered at present although he still wishes to find someone to share his life in the future. Isaac now lives in the Far North of Queensland in the tropical northern city of Cairns with his devoted cat ‘Tiger’; a black and white mixed breed he rescued from a shelter. It was an older cat and he said he felt a kinship to the cat being black, older and in a cage as he had been. Isaac knew he was a gay man before he was incarcerated and although was raped many times inside whilst a young man, never found someone inside whom he felt a particular longing to be with so never formed any long term relationships.Isaac is determined to remain free and enjoy what he can of life in the years he has left. He enjoys being black; although he has no real association with others of his colour or race as there are few of North African heritage living close to where he is living. He felt more discrimination whilst in prison than he does living in normal society outside of prison. In prison, he had to align himself with prisoners of his colour whereas outside, he has many friends of white and black; something he could not do inside. Age has tempered his disposition and allowed him to make friends throughout the many ethnic communities within the community he now resides.His first book is of a white man who has a need to be black. The main character, Eric, has no idea why he has this need but it is a yearning inside him and his partner and friends cannot understand this need. He decides to go ahead and do it regardless of the cries of deplore by all those around him and accepts the challenges ahead of this regardless of their outcome; the outcome ending with his being sentenced to a term of incarceration. He anticipated being incarcerated as he was aware of the incarceration rate of black people but he did not expect the method used to put him in prison. His mind was altered; his deepening colour expedited and after an amount of time needed to absorb his new life, finds he likes being black; he likes prison and allows life to take him where it will. Life as a black man is different but it is what he desired and always wanted from a young man; he wants to remain black in his retirement and his benefactor allows this.показать меньше
