BOOKS
My latest bo0k, Death on St. Charles Street, was recently published by Amarna Books and Media of Philadelphia and examines a quadruple murder-suicide in my mother's family back in 1962.
My great uncle, John Bowman, killed his wife and two of their children in their Rapid City, S.D., home, leaving no note or clear motive for this crime.
I researched the case and its impact for more than a decade and found friends, relatives and others related to the crime to get their perspective on what happened, why and the impact that continues today.
See coverage in the Rapid City media at Rapid City Journal and KNBN-TV.
It can be orderd at Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com.
My previous true crime story on the unsolved murder of 17-year-old Carol Ann Farino, A Long Walk Home (Amarna Books), is still available.
It investigates the still unsolved murder of a New Jersey high school student in 1966, who was last seen walking home from her waitress job and was found strangled to death an hour later in a driveway.
The national true crime podcast Murder in My Family took on that story recently as well.
Listen HERE.
The book has received media attention from The Asbury Park Press and The Record.
It has been discussed on the PBS interview program One on One with Steve Adubato.
In addition, I have launched a podcast that now has three episodes related to the case.
My lone novel, The Crookedest Street, follows the ins and outs of politicians and journalists in San Francisco of the 1990's.
I spent most of that decade covering the City by the Bay and penned this fictional account based on the bizarre, lively and intense politics and news coverage of the day.
It takes the twists and turns of city politics and combines them with newspaper battles, corrupt city officials, outlandish news people, as well as power grabs, sex, and murder.

Finally, my first book, Killing Journalism: How Greed, Laziness (And Donald Trump) Are Destroying News. And How We Can Save It, is more relavant than ever.
