Mike Rothmiller On Why He Resurrected Stories From The 1800s: “I Thought I Had Seen and Heard It All, But I Was Wrong”
True Crime Chronicles volumes 1 & 2 are my recent works. The books are filled with shocking true crime stories from the 1800s as they originally appeared in newspapers. My commentary accompanies each story. Unlike today, these articles detail the grisly killings, the investigations, and in many cases, the unearthing of bodies the killers buried in gardens or fed to the hogs. In the 1800s, these stories mesmerized the nation. The … [Read more...]
Katherine Ellison On “The Story That Wouldn’t Let Me Go”

At the time, I was a cub reporter, covering a San Jose, California, trial involving the contract murder of a wealthy bachelor named Howard Witkin. Ten years later, after the murder investigation took an unexpected turn, I wrote a book proposal that promptly sold … [Read more...]

Author Craig McGuire: The Journey Behind BROOKLYN’S MOST WANTED
With the development of any book, there is a story behind the story. This is a story about Brooklyn. Or rather, it’s a book about the dark side of where we’re from. Writing “Brooklyn’s Most Wanted – Ranking the Top 100 Most Notorious Criminals, Crooks and Creeps from the County of the Kings” was a long journey that started many years before I picked up a pen or punched a key.

But like most Brooklyn natives, he may know one or … [Read more...]
Bestselling True Crime Author M. William Phelps: There Are Always More Bodies
I am convinced that part of the “high” a serial killer gets from his murderous path of violence after he is arrested and facing the iron fist of justice is taking pleasure in the fact that he alone knows there are additional bodies (his victims) somewhere out in the world. What’s more, there is no doubt he will use those bodies as a bartering chip in dealing with law enforcement and/or the legal system when the time comes. Or, maybe the … [Read more...]
Looking for love in all the wrong places (like prison)
It was a simple plan: Help a couple killers break out of prison, persuade them to kill your husband, then run off to Vermont and live happily ever after. Maybe a cottage by the sea. Just you and two fugitive psychopaths. In New York today, prison worker Joyce Mitchell stands accused of helping two convicted murderers—Richard Matt, 48, and 35-year-old David Sweat—escape. And authorities now say the 51-year-old woman had sex with both men before … [Read more...]
