Busy authors, many links

True crime author Aphrodite Jones kinda disappeared for a while, but she's to get her own series on Investigation Discovery.

Jeff Kaye, a former police sergeant from Reno, pulls no punches in his first true crime book. Beware of the Cable Guy: From Cop to Serial Killer involves the case of serial killer David Middleton - and the author does not spare his brothers in blue as he explained in a recent interview.

Bonnie and Clyde redux: Jeff Guinn, a journalist from Fort Worth, wrote Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde and earned a nice review in the Dallas Morning News.

True crime author Tom Basinski had a chance to talk about his latest book, Cross Country Evil, with a local station.

Ann Rule's book Too Late to Say Goodbye is coming to the small screen, to star Rob Lowe as Bobby Corbin. Meanwhile, a new author explains why"I So Admire Ann Rule!"

Seventeen Magazine issued a true crime compendium for its readers, proving that we do indeed get hooked on this stuff at an early age.

A CNN producer thinks that having bloggers attend murder trials is "actually good for our justice system." I think so too, but I don't think it matters in the end. No amount of press or blog coverage seems to have had any impact on a series of scientifically indefensible murder cases in Illinois, as I'm posting about later today at Women in Crime Ink.

Hi, Laura.

Hope you don't mind me telling everyone that I too am coming out with a book on crime, ALIAS SOAPY SMITH, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A SCOUNDREL, the biography of Jefferson Randolph Smith II, a nineteenth century crime boss. Clicking my name will get you to my blog on Soapy.

Busy authors, I'm not sure if this is the place or not, but I mentioned above Mr. Spooner and his book on the Smuttynose Murders, come to find out he also has done a book on an unsolved beheading from Maine called "In Search of Sarah Ware" and another called "In Search of Melissa Thayer" in which a Sea Captain Murdered a old man, his daughter 32 and her daughter 4 and burned their farm. The Sea Captain was later murdered in prison. These books all fascinate me. I would love to see articles on all these included on your wonderful website.
