I have now begun to write my second book,
"How Did They Die? Murders in Northern Texas
1927-1950. "
As I complete a story, I will post it
here.
If you know of a sensational murder story that occurred from 1927-1950
in the Northern half of the state, please send me the details and I will
attempt to research it to include in my book.

story or to be put on my waiting list to be notified when the second book
is finished.
