    YESTERDAY'S NEWS - Coming in 2018

    Excited to reveal the cover of my new book, YESTERDAY'S NEWS, which will be coming out from Oceanview Publishers in May 2018. It also won the Claymore Award for best new writing project at Killer Nashville last year.

    Here's a brief description:

                  When eleven-year-old Lucy Devlin disappeared on her way to school more than a decade ago, it became one of the most famous missing child cases in history.  
               The story turned reporter Clare Carlson into a media superstar overnight.  Clare broke exclusive after exclusive and got unprecedented access with the Devlin family to write about the heartbreaking search for their young daughter. She later won a Pulitzer Prize for her extraordinary coverage of the case.
                Now Clare finds herself thrust back on this sensational story all over again. There’s new evidence. New victims. And new suspects. Too many suspects. Everyone from members of a motorcycle gang to a prominent politician running for a U.S. Senate seat seem to have secrets they’re hiding about what really might have happened to Lucy Devlin.
                But, as she digs deeper into the tangled case, we realize that Clare has her own secrets too.
               And, in order to find out the truth about Lucy Devlin, she must finally confront hard truths from her own past.

    Fascinating book about covering Vietnam

    7/6/2017

    0 Comments

     
    My friend and fellow author Terry Irving has edited this remarkable book about a subject of great interest to me – TV coverage of the Vietnam War. The book is by legendary war cameraman Yasutsune “Tony” Hirashiki who (with the help of longtime ABC producer Irving) tells the story of his ten years on the frontlines in Vietnam. There are big on-air names you will recognize (Ted Koppel, Sam Donaldson) – but also many others who covered what became known as the first “television” war. Some of the stories are filled with drama and heroism; others are scary as they recount the constant danger that journalists were in covering this war; and there’s also plenty of light-hearted moments. Like how Yasutsune Hirashiki got the nickname “Tony” so the ABC reporter he was working with could warn him to get out of danger quickly (“Keep your head down, Tony!”) instead of taking time in a firefight to yell out his full name! As someone who was a military journalist in the Army back in the ‘60s (I wound up being an intelligence analyst instead when I got to Vietnam, but that’s a whole other story), I found “On the Frontlines of the Television War” particularly fascinating. And I recommend it as a great read for anyone about this tumultuous time in our history.

    My interview with Meg Gardiner...

    6/30/2017

    0 Comments

     
    Meg Gardiner's new thriller UNSUB - inspired by the Zodiac Killer case - is not only a terrific read, but it has also been bought by CBS for a new TV series.

    Meg talks to me in the new issue of The Big Thrill mag about writing the book; her previous careers as a lawyer and teaching in college; and even about being a three-time champion on Jeopardy.

    As someone who's read a lot of serial killer novels (and written a few myself), I highly recommend UNSUB!
