She formed her own television production company, La Plante Productions, in 1994 and as La Plante Productions she wrote and produced the sequel to Widows, the equally gutsy She's Out (ITV, 1995). The name "La Plante" comes from her marriage to writer Richard La Plante, author of the book Mantis and Hog Fever. La Plante divorced Lynda in the early 1990s.

Frake has a way of relating her experiences in a no nonsense, down to earth manner, calls a spade a spade, nobody’s fool, but beneath that tough exterior, lies a thoughtful person, an animal lover ( bonus points for that)! However, the stress and violence she experienced over the years, were building up unseen, until it all reached a crescendo, leaving her poleaxed. A really interesting and enjoyable read. As with all of the books I’ve read by Lynda la Plante, the book is so well written, I feel like I’m there standing at Helen Hewitts side! One thing, and I have thought hard about mentioning it, that I found odd was she had a time of PTSD after reading about a prisoners crime, it being so horrific it played on her mind so much, now I wont mention the crime but without warning she did, yes after reading a few words I and any other reader could then skim over the rest ( which I did ) but obviously I had already got the jist of the crime, it seemed odd to me that her reading about it had given her PTSD yet there it was being relayed to the reader who then could also suffer from reading it, hope that makes sense?, I am not a one for trigger warnings or being over sensitive but in this case maybe one was needed before these few paragraphs It read exactly like what it was, a novelization of a TV series. It was somewhat entertaining, but it was hard to get invested in characters who were largely interchangeable and had little time for the reader to get to know them. His writing draws extensively from his experiences in the United States Army, where he served two combat tours in Iraq and was awarded the Bronze Star, Combat Action Badge and Presidential Unit Citation.Aside from simply "the Governor," the character's name appeared to be Philip Blake; however, with the release of the novel The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor, it was revealed that his actual name was Brian Blake, and Philip was revealed to be his deceased brother. [2] After being herded into a "town meeting", Brian discovers that Major Gavin is attempting to make all its citizens "pull their own weight"; if anyone refuses or dissents, they will be shot. A man, Detroit, dismissing the decree as ludicrous, attempts to leave the town meeting and is immediately shot by Major Gavin. Brian feels himself undergoing a metamorphosis as he shoots Major Gavin. The Woodbury citizens begin to crowd around him and, when he is asked by Caesar Martinez for his name, Brian replies: "Philip Blake".

THE GOVERNOR: The unbelievable true story of my life inside
I had the audio version of the book , the narration is done by the author herself and it was just ok. I think the physical book would be a better choice. This latest Honor Harrington novel brings the saga to another crucial turning point. . . . Readers may feel confident that they will be Honored many more times and enjoy it every time.”— Booklist a b "Top 100 Comic Book Villains". IGN. San Francisco, California: j2 Global. March 4, 2012 . Retrieved July 10, 2018. I did find her narration slightly irritating at times, she obviously did very well in her career and is unshy of saying so and not afraid of telling you her many successes but then I told myself she has every right to be after what she has done/seen/endured and achieved, still at times it wears thin Interesting reading and dispels preconceived notions you might have for prison staff. Lots of colorful dialog. And yes, you get contraband shoved into body parts.This is very good, probably a 5 star, but.... with reservations. The author writes well but... a couple of things have left a bad taste in my mouth. "Wealthy Jews" and "addicts made their choice". Sometimes society's prejudices are so ingrained that although the book has obviously had an editor with an eye to the present woke agenda, they just aren't noticed. Or they don't matter because certain kinds of prejudice are absolutely acceptable. On television, the character is portrayed by British actor David Morrissey. Glen Mazzara, when asked about the character's direction for season 3 of the show, described the Governor as a narcissist who sees himself as the future savior of civilization and is willing to resort to the most extreme of measures to achieve his ultimate goal. [10] Wormwood Scrubbs features in a lot of British crime fiction and crime TV/movies. It was a Category B prison (a lot of bad guys, but not the worst of the worst who go to a Class A prison).
