MURDER IN THE FAMILY was my first "serious" true crime book, and my first for Kensington's Pinnacle True Crime series. It was also my first NYT Best Seller, That took everyone by surprise, including Kensington who ran out of books the same week we hit the best-seller list. The thrill of having a best-seller was amplified by the substantial royalty check that arrived just in time for the holidays. There were no ebooks in 2000, hence no mention of them in my Kensington contract. Well, guess what, kids -- MURDER IN THE FAMILY, with a few additional details and author commentary, is an ebook from WildBluePress right now. The paperback is still available from Kensington, the ebook from WildBlue, and the audio book is from listenupaudiobooks.com As with the original, the electronic edition goes into much dramatic detail about the trial of Kirby D. Anthoney. If you don't like trials, you can skip that part and not bother writing one of those cranky reviews complaining about unimportant legal mumbo jumbo regarding guilt, innocence, evidence, rights, the law, etc.
