Being Real

Being Real: Facing Demons continues the story of Corey Astin, a former lawyer and present inmate, on his spiritual quest to survive prison and confront the issues that led to his incarceration. Being Real dives deep within Corey's psyche to discover the brutal truth, that his past has spawned self-destructive demons he must transform to make peace in his own mind. Based on the author's own experience, Corey faces new challenges as he gets transferred from Thomaston Prison to SMCF and The Farm. As Corey confronts his own demons he must also learn to defend himself from those who believe he has not yet paid the price that the inmate code demands. Strengthened by the resources and advice of his mentors, Corey battles powerful and sometimes magical adversaries, including a dangerous sorcerer. Join Corey as he brings you on a transformative journey inside prison walls and into an alternate reality where he must choose to fight the evil that haunts him or risk losing everything he has accomplished.

In the first book of the Being Free Series, Being Free: On the Inside, Corey battles five evil energies with the help of his fellow inmate mentor, Dalton. Being Real: Facing Demons picks up where the first one left off and is the second book in the series.
