UNKNOWN INNOCENCE by Wayne T. Dowdy
I planned to make UNKNOWN INNOCENCE as the sequel to Under Pressure by Mr. D. As I neared completion, I chose to give my fans a better deal by combining it with Under Pressure, instead of making it a sequel. Unknown Innocence is currently priced at $12.25 on Amazon, but the price may change.
Ebooks and paperbacks are available on Amazon.com and many other online booksellers. For eBooks with different formats and better pricing, Books-2-Read is the best option: https://books2read.com/u/3L50Ne

An Excerpt from UNKNOWN INNOCENCE
Introduction by Jeffrey P. Frye
It takes a special kind of person to turn their adversities into success; their sadness into joy that’s used to entertain others.
And it takes a person with tenacity and depth to continue to seek the sunshine when all you’ve ever known is the rain. And it takes a person with natural talent to be able to write a story under these conditions that’s captivating and that you don’t want to put down.
Wayne T. Dowdy is such a person, and UNKNOWN INNOCENCE is such a story.
In UNKNOWN INNOCENCE, Dowdy takes the reader into the lives of his protagonists, Bobby and Nicole, and tells the story of how it all went terribly wrong. How the forces of bad luck, helped along by a crooked FBI agent and attorney, conspired to take Bobby behind the walls of the United States Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. Using a pen along with a vivid and epic imagination, Dowdy draws upon his life in the free world, as well as his nearly three decades of walking the line in some of the roughest federal pens in America.
Moving along at a steady pace, UNKNOWN INNOCENCE tells the story of Bobby’s wrongful conviction. Sent up the river for life without parole, Big Bobby never gives up hope though. The one thing that has eluded him for most of his life is the very thing that turns out to be his salvation. Love. UNKNOWN INNOCENCE is a riveting tale that transcends genres. It’s a mystery and a thriller, with a love story woven through its fabric.
Wayne T. Dowdy is a writer for the masses whose voice has purpose. It tells the World, “No matter what happens to me, I will not give up.” This voice takes the broken pieces of a life and combines it with raw talent to bring forth a beautiful mosaic. It’s a voice that says, no matter how guilty I may be, there is still unknown innocence in each and every one of us.

The turbines whined as the jet lowered its altitude to land. His heart pounded as he gazed out the window and saw how much things had changed since he had last seen the area. After the jet had landed and began to unload its passengers, all of the apprehension vanished when he saw his Mother, Nicole, Stan, Jasmine, and Wendy. At first, he wondered who the tall, grey-haired man was standing beside his Mother, but when he saw the camera crew off to the side, he realized Senator Johnson had come to greet him, along with his media friends, of course. Everyone began waving their arms. There is a God, he thought, as he trotted down the concourse to meet them, free at last.
I wrote the above paragraph to conclude Unknown Innocence while sitting in a prison cell, and revising as I typed on an AlphaSmart tablet in the law library at a federal institution. Read the following link to another blog I wrote years ago to see examples of my work as I fought for my Right to Write, another story within itself.
Today, I spend my days as a full-time content creator on YouTube, TikTok, and other social media platforms hoping to help others along the way. Thanks for reading my content!
