Houston Book Signing for "More Than My Sentence" Spotlights Life After Incarceration
New anthology featuring eight firsthand accounts of incarceration, reentry, and rebuilding officially releases November 1, with a Houston book signing scheduled for November 14.
A prison sentence may become part of someone's history, but it doesn't have to define the rest of their life. That message is at the center of More Than My Sentence: The Lives Built After Incarceration, a new collaborative anthology curated by Houston-based publisher Ms Cat, officially releasing November 1, 2026.
To celebrate the release, Ms Cat Consulting will host a book signing on Saturday, November 14, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Quad Sports Bar & Restaurant, located at 4608 Almeda Road in Houston, Texas.
The event marks the debut of This Should've Took Me Out, an ongoing collaborative book series dedicated to amplifying firsthand accounts of adversity, survival, and rebuilding.
More Than My Sentence features eight contributors sharing personal experiences of incarceration and the challenges of rebuilding their lives. The stories explore accountability, lost time, family relationships, personal transformation, and the often-overlooked realities of reentering society.
Rather than presenting incarceration through statistics or headlines, the anthology gives readers an opportunity to hear directly from individuals whose lives extend far beyond their criminal records.
"These contributors are not asking anyone to forget their past," Ms Cat writes in the book's curator's note. "A record can tell you something that happened in someone's life. It cannot tell you everything about who they are today."
The November 14 book signing will bring the publication beyond the page, providing an opportunity for readers, families, community supporters, and advocates to connect with the people and experiences behind the anthology.
The event is also intended to establish the foundation for future releases in the This Should've Took Me Out series. Upcoming volumes will explore parental loss, medical survival, domestic abuse, and other experiences that have shaped the lives of their contributors.
With a new volume scheduled for release each month, the series seeks to create an ongoing platform for stories that challenge assumptions, encourage meaningful conversations, and remind readers that difficult experiences do not have to be the final chapter.
