Just noticed that my old college buddy Joe Eszterhas - who went on to become the most famous (or infamous, depending how you felt about his work) screenwriter in Hollywood - has a book coming out at the same time as mine and from the same publisher. It's called Deliverance from Evil, about the three women in Cleveland held captive by Ariel Castro. It will be published by Atria on August 12 - the exact same publication date as my book from Atria, The Kennedy Connection. What are the odds of that? Haven't talked to Joe in years, but I'm sure we never figured on anything like that when we were hanging out together at Ohio University in Athens back in the 60s. He moved back home to Cleveland after turning Hollywood upside down with scripts like Basic Instinct and Show Girls.
