Crime Expert BURL BARER. Edgar Award Winner and NYT Bestselling Author

PSYCHIC PREDICTION COMES TRUE!

All week long, I had the ongoing precognitive experience of the phone going dead when out guests were calling in for their live interviews on Outlaw Radio.  I even showed up for the show earlier than usual, and said to Matt Alan, "Hey, Matt -- the phone is working okay, right?"
"Of course the phone works," said Matt as he picked it up, " in fact...oh shit! It IS dead!"
For the first half hour of our show, our phone in guests couldnt phone in! Once again, Don Woldman and I had to vamp our way through a live show with major technicals problems. Then, as if by magic, the phones came back and we got our guests on the air. 
Kerrie Droban and Suzy Spencer didn't get as much time as we originally hoped, but they both proved to be amazing and amusing guests.

Here is our OFFICIAL SEXPERT, Suzy Spencer telling us about the latest East Texas sex scandal:

I'll link you up with Kerrie Droban real soon!

WHAT THE HELL? HOW TWISTED!

  Assuming that the station doesn't blow up, go off the air, or melt in the heat, Don Woldman and I will actually get to talk to Kerrie Droban, famous author of that book about the Hells Angels vs the ATF this Saturday 2pm PDT on our True Crime radio show.  You can listen live.

The following week, Caitlin Rother, another best selling author of true crime will talk about TWISTED TRIANGLE -- kidnapping, attempted murder and lesbian affairs! Woo hooo

SEX CRAZED & DRUG FUELED:Hospitalized Author Reaps More Fame.

Life is full of surprises, and you must be prepared to go with the proverbial flow.  For example, lets's pretend that you are going to do a live interview with Kerrie Droban, a very  famous author. The interview about the book, Running with the Devil,:will go for about an hour. You hope she is a good talker -- and as she is a defense attorney, that shouldn't be a problem.  So you go on the air, and she doesn't show up. No author. What do you do for the hour? YOU FAKE IT.
It's amazing how well Don Woldman, Judi Faye and I faked our way through an interview show without the guest star to interview. What made it easy is that the book RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL is so damn interesting that we could have talked about it even longer. You will enjoy hearing us handle this situation, and certainly sympathize with us and with Kerrie Droban who, instead of being on the air, was in the hospital following a horrid auto accident on the way to do the show. .  Thankfully, Kerrie is alive and has all of her body parts intact. 

LISTEN TO THE LIVE SHOW, UNCUT, AND HEAR HOW WE HANDLE THIS MOST PECULIAR SITUATION. We knew there was something wrong, we just didn'[t know what it was.

The upside of all this is that we all receied excellent publicity, and Kerrie sent the three of us really spiffy official Running with the Devil shirts!

Oh, about the SEX CRAZED part of the title.  Sex Crime expert Janet McClellan was our guest on Outlaw Radio's TRUE CRIME show the following week. You can hear highlights of the McClellan show, including her comment on the Jon Benet Ramsey investigation, RIGHT HERE!

All this frivolity was produced by Magic Matt Alan and broadcast live from his back yard!

The Best Sex, the Best Drugs, The Best Porn, The Best Naked Elvis

Thank you. You may now send me a check for $39.95 for learning "The Best Kept Secret in Internet Success." If you want someone to read your blog, watch your video, or ruminate on your socio-political diatribe, give your message a headline that sounds as if someone would actually be interested in it.  Ask someone about the BEST SEX they ever had, and you'll get responses ranging from the absurd to the sublime. I enjoy subtly reminding women (or sometimes men) whom I have never met before that we once had fantastic sex somewhere, sometime -- I don't ever actually say that, but I know how to give that "knowing shared experience/secret look"   Actually I only pulled that stunt on a guy once -- he was a rather objectionable ego-maniacle blatantly and braggartly homosexual who staunchly maintained the delusion that everyone in the room was entitled to know his personal proclivities. Soooo....I said "Hi, good to see you again" and gave him "that look" -- his mental gears began slipping into retro-mode, searching his conquistador data base. "Oh, he blurted out -- "under the Aurora bridge last April?"  No. My downcast eyes showed my dispair and being so easily forgotten. "Uhhh... wait...the mens room at the Burger King!"  The more he panicked, the more we all learned of his ill advised anonymous promiscuity. At last I calmly said "I don't believe we've met before...when I first said hello, I mistook you for my cousin's husband."

Women, of course, respond differently. They don't blurt out times and places, their faces merely reflect the angst of not remembering exacty when, how and why we previously met, and did we or did we not sleep together. Naturally, I usualluy only do this with women whom I have never met before in my life.  All it takes to play this game is the statement, "It's so good to meet you" (true statement) and say it with friendly smile that conveys a hint of conspiratorial familiarity.  Just a hint...the light touch, the right touch..just enough that they don't know if they are infering or you are subtly reminding. My favorite "result" of this ruse was a conversation I overheard between the women and her friend on the way to the ladies room: "I'm going crazy! There is a man here that I know, but I don't remember if I went to school with him, worked in the same office as him, or if I fucked him."   "Well," offered her friend, "why dont you ask him?"  "Oh sure...what if he says, oh you gave me head behind the Green Lantern Tavern 15 years ago?"   Her freind started to laugh, stopped dead in her tracks, and asked "Did you?"  
"That's the problem," she wailed as they entered the ladies room, "I don't know!"

I guess 15 years ago whe was on the BEST DRUGS.

The Best Porn is a matter of opinion, and the Best Naked Elvis was pre-GI Blues... not Lower GI Blues.

enough of this nonsense!  Next I'll talk about David Barhoh, Jeff Hawks, Ron Overman and Craig Tarwater.

Missing Persons: The Shocking Truth about Kerrie Droban

Kerrie Droban, defense attorney and award winning author failed to appear Saturday June 14th for a radio interview on the top-rated Internet talk show, TRUE CRIME AND...  Co-hosts Burl Barer and Don Woldman scheduled Ms Droban for a full one hour discussion of her controversial expose of the ATF's infiltration of the Hells Angels, RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL. When Droban didn't call the show as arranged, producer Matt Alan made numerous calls to both Droban's office and her personal cell phone. The silence was deafening. 
Undeterred, but concerned, Barer and Woldman, assisted by Special Features Editor Judi Faye, went ahead with the show.   Barer and Woldman, doing their best to make comedic material of the situation, had Judi Faye play the part of Ms Droban so they could ask their pre-arranged questions, interspersed with comments from Hells Angel Sonny Barger. "We were having a laugh over the situation, and doing the best show we could under the circumstance," said Barer, "but underneath was an undercurrent of honest concern for her well being. It simply is not like a professional such as she to not call in or answer her phone."

While TRUE CRIME AND was on the air, Droban was escaping death. "As it turns out," said Faye, "Kerrie was in a horrid auto accident just prior to the show, and was not even released from the hospital until six hours after the show was over.She was pretty banged up, but lucky to be alive."

Despite having devoted a full hour broadcast to Droban's RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL, Barer and Woldman have extended an invitation to her for another appearance. "We're thrilled that she wasn't killed or crippled," said Barer. "I couldn't imagine that she would stand us up on purpose. Of course, if she had, we would have thrown her under a bus ourselves."

Host Burl Barer is an Edgar Award winning author of international reputation, Don Woldman is a famed attorney known for his A-List Hollywood clients, and Judi Faye, widow of the classic comic Joey Faye, was formerly a cast member of 9 Broadcast Plaza, forerunner of The View.  TRUE CRIME AND is heard Saturdays 2-3pm PDT on Outlaw Radio.  For more information, visit www.outlawcrime.com  or www.outlawradiousa.com

HELLS ANGELS -- Guys Just Wanna Have Guns

Kerrie Droban is a defense attorney that the Hells Angels didn't hire. That's okay, most of the charges against them were dismissed anyway. Yes, once again we have our wise Federal Govt doing the "impossible" -- infiltrating the Hells Angels, setting up their undercover agents for possible execution, and then just sort of bumbling off into the night. Maybe I'm harsh, but when you expose undercover agents to life threatening danger, you just don't give em an employee bonus and a pat on the head -- not when they will be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives.  This is one hell of a great book, fascinating from start to sadly predictable finish, written by lawyer/author and certified "Mystery Babe," (that's what we call members of Mystery Writers of America who are "hotties" -- including Burl Barer!) 

Kerrie has agreed to join me on the air this Saturday 2pm PDT on Outlaw Radio's TRUE CRIME AND.. where Don Woldman and I will get the inside story on the ATF's infiltration of the Hells Angels.

Set your alarm clock for Saturday and listen live.

Now, about my eyeball -- the Dr says that my vision will return as long as I don't go to Bakersfield, fly in a plane, or get whacked in the head with a brick for the next couple weeks. Lovely.

Crime and Mystery Guru Carl Brookins -- LIVE ON THE AIR

Carl Brookins wrote the book on radio interviews for authors..and I do mean he actually wrote the book. He writes so many books, features, stories and book reviews that to recount his career would take more space than Typepad can muster. Sooooooo....we're having him as our special guest this coming Saturday 2pm PDT on TRUE CRIME AND on Outlaw Radio! WOOO HOOOO.

AUTHOR OF BLOODY HALLS, THE CASE OF THE GREEDY LAWYERS, OLD SILVER, A SUPERIOR MYSTERY and INNER PASSAGES

Before he became a mystery writer and reviewer, Brookins was a freelance photographer, a Public Television program director, a Cable TV administrator, and a counselor and faculty member at Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He has reviewed mystery fiction for the Saint Paul Pioneer Press and for Mystery Scene Magazine. His reviews also appear on his web site, and on Internet sites, including Books n' Bytes and ReviewingtheEvidence. Brookins is an avid recreational sailor. With his wife and friends he has sailed in many locations across the world. He is a member of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime. He can frequently be found touring bookstores and libraries with his companions-in-crime, The Minnesota Crime Wave. He writes the sailing adventure series featuring Michael Tanner and Mary Whitney. The third novel is Old Silver. His new private investigator series features Sean NMI Sean. The first is titled The Case of the Greedy Lawyers. Brookins received a liberal arts degree from the University of Minnesota and studied for a MA in Communications at Michigan State University.

 One of Carl's recent releases is THE CASE OF THE GREEDY LAWYERS. Wow: talk about an abundance of suspects!  I'm sure co-host Don Woldman will have pointed questions -- after all, Don might be considered a suspect if he were not so kind and generous (for a lawyer).
