My upcoming year is set to be very exciting as I have three books scheduled for publication. True Crime in Real Time is a new paradigm approach to true crime, putting the reader in the place of investigators on real true crime cases. The reader is a fictional detective who methodically uncovers evidence investigating current and historical true crime cases. A Juror’s Handbook of Lawyer’s Dirty Tricks is also set for 2024, along with a mystery novel, Scrafitto.
