Many of us have read at least one true crime book, but if you are like me, you haven't thought about how the author goes about doing this. He or she may have to become a detective him or herself, interview victims, family of the imprisoned, etc. T...

Alison Whiteman's review of A Twisted Faith: A Minister's Obsession and the Murder That Destroyed a Church:
"
It was a hot sweltering week at Christian Youth Fellowship camp just outside Colorado Springs, the now mecca of sprawling evangelical churches to rival that of America's tasteless and tacky strip malls. I managed to narrowly escape the deceitful h...

“Some of this story is completely true. And some of it isn't. Like truth, evil comes in all sorts of flavors. Some bitter. Some deceptively sweet. Sometimes it comes with a heavy price. While most people don't invite evil into their lives, the dirty little secret is that an invitation isn't necessary. Locked doors don't matter. Neither do fancy security systems. Evil is kind of amazing when you think about it. She knows how to get inside.”

“Her daughter's comment amused Emily. 'I didn't know stalking could be a group activity”

“I'd tell my mother to, you know, go you-know-what herself and I would go help those children. They're in an orphanage and they've got family! That's sickening. What does John do? Nothing. His kids are in an orphanage... and he does nothing.

A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Gregg. It may interest you that my book Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom in now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. You may not be thrilled, but might be well amused. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)Stan

Starvation Heights is one of the few true crime books that I recommend to my friends.When are we going to see Starvation Heights,the movie?
I wish there were more quotes from your books :( ill have to add them as I read if I like it so other people can like them on here too :)
Hahaha, wow Gregg how did you find me on here?I was entranced with the new book by the way, it was great! Reading about my own town like that was very exciting, so much so that I decided to re-read all your thriller books again!
Hi Gregg:Good luck with the new book. I listed your site and blog on my blog: http://theroadtopromise.blogspot.com/
Thank you so very much for accepting my friend request, it is appreciated!:)
Have a wonderful day, enjoy the rest of your week!
