Episode five of JUST KICKIN’ IT! features creator & writer Steven Prince of MERCY: In Prison – currently on Kickstarter through Friday, March 27th, 2026 at 5:00 PM PDT.
If you love 70’s exploitation movies, horror, and women, then MERCY: IN PRISON puts pedal to the metal and offers up a filling serving of badass women, blood, guts, and more!
Now for those of you wondering when you might receive this masterpiece, here’s the good news – THE BOOK IS DONE! The book will be READY TO SEND to the printer once the campaign finishes! That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
The campaign is SO CLOSE to meeting its target funding goal!
MERCY: IN PRISON, the first in a brand-new series of one-shots for mature readers that follows Mercy Hansen as she hunts down the man that betrayed her and finds more than she bargained for! Each one-shot is designed to stand on its own so you can read them without feeling lost, but will also fit together as a larger narrative.

MERCY: IN PRISON journeys back to 1975 and follows MERCY HANSEN, a happy-go-lucky farm girl from Wisconsin who gets sent to a Philippines prison after getting caught with a brick of China White in her travel bag. Of course, she didn’t put it there. That darn English prick Richard Hawthorne IV did and she wants to get out of prison to get her revenge. Only problem is that she’s not the only one out for revenge… and she’ll be lucky to survive!
