Crime Doesn't Pay
Lou Nyx is a British memoir writer and former film and music-video production professional.
After a conviction for embezzlement, she served a year in two British women's prisons — Bronzefield and East Sutton Park. Crime Doesn't Pay is her funny, candid and compassionate account of prison life, the women she met and the absurdities nobody warns you about.
Before becoming an author, Lou worked in film and music-video production during the extraordinary creative world of the 1980s.

Love on Licence
Lou Nyx's next memoir continues the story beyond the prison gates. Love on Licence follows the strange, funny and often complicated business of rebuilding a life after prison — freedom, relationships, dating, friendship and discovering that release does not automatically mean everything becomes simple.
Written with the same candour, humour and eye for the absurd as Crime Doesn't Pay, it is a story about starting again when life has already taken a very unexpected turn.
