MASTERS OF TRUE CRIME is a Big Hit With Readers!


Hello, fans and friends:


My new true crime anthology, MASTERS OF TRUE CRIME: Chilling Stories of Murder and the Macabre, has been a smashing success since its debut less than two weeks ago. It features seventeen mind boggling tales written by some of the best true crime writers in the business, such as Harold Schechter, Katherine Ramsland, Burl Barer, Carol Ann Davis, Robert Scott, Cathy Scott, Amanda Lamb, and Camille Kimball among others.



Here's what reviewers have said about MASTERS OF TRUE CRIME:

It is a disturbing, albeit fascinating, read.” —Kathleen M. Heide, PhD, professor of criminology at the University of South Florida and author of Why Kids Kill Parents



“A fascinating, must-read compendium of true crime by some of the genre’s leading authors.” —Gary C. King, bestselling author of Blood Lust: Portrait of a Serial Sex Killer



“Striking, well-written tales sparkle in this ocean of murder.” --Diane Fanning, author of Mommy’s Little Girl
