Welcome!
I’m Candy Priano, a writer. My stories cover the tragedy of vehicular police pursuits and the impact they have upon innocent bystanders. People who were going about their daily business when it happened. People who were obeying the law.
Police chases kill the innocent.
In 2023, federal reports reveal a surge in police pursuit-related deaths, rising from one to nearly two per day, with at least a third of those killed innocent bystanders. Thousands more suffer life-altering injuries. Throughout the United States, and the world, police chase crashes kill and injure children, spouses, parents, siblings, and other family members and friends. This number continues to climb with no promise of action.
Fifteen Forever
A Memoir of Police Chases and
Society’s Acceptable Collateral Damage
Police pursuit crashes to capture nonviolent drivers leave behind shattered families who discover the hidden darkness of this unchecked police practice that unfolds on our roads and highways every day.
Fifteen Forever exposes the harsh reality of police chases, which kill innocent bystanders going about their daily lives—coming home from work, driving their children to school, or walking with a friend. When I placed an orange rose on my daughter Kristie’s casket, I was in disbelief—how could this happen to my family, to my baby? People told me to move on, to accept it. I couldn’t do that. To this day, families like mine know these deaths are no accident. They are not only preventable but predictable. Though the obstacles are many, and the victories few, I witness incredible beauty in the generosity and bravery of people from all walks of life fighting with me to prevent the tragedy of pursuit.
Agents and Publishers: This memoir shares the stories of innocent bystanders who paid the ultimate price because of nonviolent drivers fleeing police. With insights from writers, editors, and two decades of spending time with bereaved families and law enforcement, I completed my sixth draft—87,000 words—and am seeking representation.
