" Soccer mom gone wild" is what they called the upstate New York seamstress that became an inmate because she fell in love with an inmate. This is her story of what happened behind the walls of her home and the walls of the prison that led her to make the choices she did. She tells the story this way: I lost everything I had in one day. I am Denise Prell and I believe I have been judged, convicted and punished too harshly for my actions. My punishment was far greater than my crime. No one else would have been imprisoned for what I did. I am telling my story from the heart, so that people will understand. The Press coverage was exaggerated, blown completely out of proportion, comparing me to 'Escape at Dannemora,' the Ben Stiller Mini-Series, saying we had 'sexual relations.' My life took a path beyond your wildest imagination, but neither of those headlines are true. I fell in love. That's why I went to jail. That's why I became a 'high profile' case in a small town in Upstate New York. The man I loved was an inmate at the Maximum Security Prison where I was a Supervisor. I became an inmate myself because I tried to make his life better. I don't think what I did was wrong and I would never do anything to hurt or endanger anyone! Read my truth. Judge for yourself. I believe you will understand 'My Storm Within'.

Janice returned to New York three years ago to spend time with her father, investigated her genetics and found she possesses the BRCA2 Genetic Mutation. Without many resources to draw on, she made a drastic choice to save her life, and The New Girls was written as she recovered from a Preventive Double Mastectomy. This experience brought a strong desire to raise awareness of Breast Cancer, genetics and BRCA, the choices it entails.
This first-time author has written a raw, personal, memoir. There are choices, drastic, serious choices, and The New Girls is written in a style you will not put down. It is her profound hope that this resource helps others trying to face a decision similar to her own. It has been a wild ride, and the journey continues. If you or someone you know is facing such a decision, hopefully, The New Girls will give comfort, knowing that you are not alone.
Her second book, "On Hold", tells of the precious time spent with her father at the end of his life. Her third, "Say What Needs to be Said", is in progress, with other ideas pounding around inside of her brain.
She is healthy, happy, humorous and ready to share The New Girls with the world.
