Doug Coley
I am 33 years old. I have been locked away on death row for 12 years now, but I still have a zest for life that is unmatched by anyone. I love reading, writing, and playing basketball.

I grew up in a tough environment where reading in public wasn't something to be celebrated, and learning outside of school had to be hidden. Now I just want to write as much as I can.
