As I get older (each week in fact)my mind remember less and less of the things I knew even a month before.
I can remember reading a story by an author whose name I can't remember about a man who is falsely arrested and tossed into a woman's prison. He slowly becomes a woman to fit in better and ends up being exonerated.
Then he becomes a counselor at the center and falls in love with one of the guards.
I don't remember if that story was ever actually finished and if not whether the author ever plans to do so.
Inquiring minds would really like to know if the story is complete or has more books to be written?

I think you're looking for
I think you're looking for Penny Lane's The State does not make mistakes.
And yes
The story is going to continue. However, the current plot arc has already been resolved, and it will be a new book.

Where you can fool around like you want to and most you get is some bemused good ribbing!

Penny Lane...
... made a blog post explaining the state of The State a while back: The State rests. IIRC nothing has been mentioned of The State since then.
Thanks
I appreciate the speedy replies to my question... I hope the next book comes out soon.
Sometimes the State gets sidetracked
Yes, I'm afraid that would be the saga that I started. When I began it I had no idea where it was going or what the end result would be.
Much of what follows the first book, after Marion finally gets exonerated, is more or less just a logical extension of what had to happen as she adjusted to the outside world. However, fate intervenes...
Now I have to consider much more of the society in which she lives, and that's taking me some time. I have a 'sort of' conclusion in mind plus an epilogue set some years later. I plan to write about another six-seven chapters to pull it all together, but you know how that goes (rolls eyes).
In the meantime, Real Life got in the way, and while that was taking place my muse snuck up on me and insisted I write all these other stories... so it looks as if State won't get a look-in before spring next year, despite anything I might previously have (optimistically) suggested.
My apologies, citizen.
