This charge is known as "knowing of and/or about a criminal-enterprise."After being released in December 1996, she did a little research and learned about the success of authors such as Bebe Moore Campbell, Terry McMillan and Sheneska Jackson. She said, "Dang? these women got it going on. And if they did it, so can I!"Ms. Swinson, later went on to self-publish "Mad Shambles." Her passion for writing didn't stop there.
