Covering the case of one of North America’s most prolific serial killer gave Stevie Cameron access not only to the story as it unfolded over many years in two British Columbia courthouses, but also to information unknown to the police – and not in the transcripts of their interviews with Pickton – such as from Pickton’s long-time best friend, Lisa Yelds, and from several women who survived terrifying encounters with him. You will now learn what was behind law enforcement’s refusal to believe that a serial killer was at work.
Stevie Cameron first began following the story of missing women in 1998, when the odd newspaper piece appeared chronicling the disappearances of drug-addicted sex trade workers from Vancouver’s notorious Downtown Eastside. It was February 2002 before Robert William Pickton was arrested, and 2008 before he was found guilty, on six counts of second-degree murder. These counts were appealed and in 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its conclusion. The guilty verdict was upheld, and finally this unprecedented tale of true crime can be told.

MARCH 10th -- The Serial Killer Whisperer...the real guy! Here is what our pal Katherine Ramsland wrote about Tony Ciaglia:
"Tony Ciaglia was a normal adolescent boy until an accident changed his life. He sustained a traumaticbrain injury to the frontal lobe that dramatically changed his personality. He felt depressed, angry, and confused, and he often hated those he once had loved. Constantly medicated to control his moods, Tony could not filter or inhibit socially inappropriate acts. Then he discovered serial killers. Award-winning writer Pete Earley's recent book, The Serial Killer Whisperer, is quite unique. He met Tony and his family and mapped the difficult experience that made Tony remarkably resonant with some of the meanest men alive. Thus, this compelling narrative revolves around the most salient issue in criminology today: the criminal brain."

**** TWO INCREDIBLE TRUE-CRIME TALES BY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR, DIANA BRITT FRANKLIN ****
"Diana Britt Franklin has done a remarkable job of researching the life, death, and crimes of one of America's most dangerous femme fatales, Anna Marie Hahn, whose deceptively delicate blonde beauty, home cooking and 'loving care' led at least a half dozen Ohioans to their graves. Franklin is at her best when she describes justice in the 1930's, allowing readers to virtually transcend the passage of time. As she describes Anna's sensational death penalty trial, it's easy to feel that seventy years have slipped away and you are there. True crime readers will want to read The Good-Bye Door." Ann Rule - author of Heart Full of Lies, Worth More Dead and Green River, Running Red.
"Riveting - in the Truman Capote style!" Philip Lorito - Amazon.com
"You may read a thousand true crime thrillers (but) you'll never forget this one! ***** Five stars!" Irena Chalmers - Amazon.com
"Gold Medal Killer plunges readers into the heart of a shocking 1929 scandal involving a respected Ohio State University professor and Olympic champion whose lurid affair with a coed leads to her brutal murder and his execution in the electric chair. As she did
so effectively in her award-winning book, The Good-bye Door, author Diana Britt Franklin has again struck gold with a meticulously researched, riveting true account of a crime that rocked the nation." Richard W. Carson - author of Murder In The Thumb
"How could a university professor go from the Olympic podium to the electric chair? That journey, as recounted in Gold Medal Killer, is so remarkable, so unexpected, that decades later the story still has the power to shock the reader. Mesmerizing!" Laura James - trial attorney and crime historian
"Was Ohio State’ s Dr. Snook guilty of the bloody murder of Theora Hix? Of this I have no doubt. However, it is the circumstances of her death and the conflicting accounts of the actions and intentions of this puzzling man that lie at the center of the most important question raised by this case and by this fascinating book. Should Dr. Snook have died in Ohio’s electric chair? You be the judge for a change." Judge Teresa L. Liston - Franklin County Municipal Court, ret.
