Tell me a little about your book.   My ex-husband, was a self-made Texas millionaire. He was poisoned to death in 1990. While hospitalized, he told nurses and doctors alike that two women, his wife and bookkeeper, were poisoning him. The hospital staff did not believe his accusations and continued to let the murder suspects have access to him as he lay dying in the hospital.
He died in the hospital while strapped down to his hospital bed with restraints on his hands and feet and tubes in every orifice. Upon his death, an anonymous caller tipped off the police.
The authorities quickly determined that millionaire Jerry Sternadel had died from arsenic poisoning.  The widow was the sole beneficiary of the million-dollar estate and a $350,000 life insurance policy. It was later learned that just before Jerry's death a teenager had visited the Sternadel ranch and became deathly ill after he drank juice that was in the refrigerator. Two years after the death of Jerry Sternadel, a bottle of arsenic was found in a storage locker rented by a woman under an assumed name.
The sheriff asked me to help with the investigation because the small county could not afford and did not have the time or resources to do extensive research. I quickly decided to become a sleuth to help solve the murder. The Sheriff deputized me over the telephone.
 What gave you the idea for this particular story?  The idea for this story was the unexpected murder of my ex-husband. I was the mother of his only children. I wrote the book to speak for my children's father, as he no longer has a voice.
Are you a full-time writer or part-time, and how do you organize your writing time? Full-time - I set aside 3 hours a day to writing.
When did you first know you wanted to be a writer? I liked reading books and writing stories about what happened growing up on a small farm. My English teacher at Lone Wolf, Oklahoma was a big influence in my life. Mrs. Schreiner encouraged all her students to excel in reading and writing. My candle for writing was lit when one of my stories won a state award when I was in junior high.
What do you hope readers will take from your writing?  It is my hope that anyone who reads my book will come to the realization that they are not alone in their struggles, no matter how big or small. I want readers to see that everyone has the ability to overcome any adversity or shortcoming. I hope that crime victims will become conscious of the fact that they are not alone and can become their own Sherlock Holmes if that is needed to help solve the crime. My hope for readers is that they too, discover God will walk beside them every step of the way in their trials and tribulations. If they get too weary to carry on, God will pick them up and carry them. When they reach their destination - there will be only one set of footprints in the sand.
Which genres do you write, which do you prefer, and why? Non-Fiction - I have always like true stories. And I am not very talented at imagining or dreaming up scenarios or the framework for a tale of fiction. I believe that is definitely a talent I would need to do in order to write successfully in the fiction genre.
What is the toughest part about being a writer and how do you get past it?  I think the toughest part is the beginning of a story. The only way to get past that hurtle is to just sit down and let the creative thought process flow, which will happen, if writers keep a positive attitude, and then start writing down the thoughts. We can always edit afterwards. Stephen King once said when he has a thought about something in the middle of the night, he jumps up and writes it down because he knows he won't remember it in the morning. I think that is great advice coming from the master writer and that is what I do.
Is there anything in your story based upon a real life event? If so, tell me about it. The entire book is a real life event beginning with the horrible murder of my ex-husband and everything that happened during the arsenic poisoning murder and the investigation afterwards.
How much is your protagonist like you? How different?   I am the protagonist in the book. I took on the job because someone had to fight the antagonist in order to help get justice for a horrible injustice. I also took on the fight to protect my children as much as I could and help them find closure for the dreadful way their father was tortured and murdered. My children's lives were changed forever by evil deeds. Unfortunately, I could not bring their father back to life so that he could be with them in the future to share his love and prosperity. But I could be a strong mother who would show them in their sorrow that having faith and trusting in God would bring success and conquer wickedness and abomination.
What kind of research did you do for this type of story?  I began my research by reading everything I could about arsenic poison and its effect on a human being. I read books about people who use poison as a weapon to kill. I started contacting toxicologists, medical examiners, detectives who had solved arsenic murder cases, District Attorneys who had handed arsenic murder cases, the EPA and even the FBI in Quantico, Virginia.  
Do writing violent or highly sexual scenes bother you? Why or why not? Yes, writing violent or highly sexual scenes bother me a lot. I do not condone or believe in violence or sexual abuse of any kind. However, in a true crime story, a writer does not have a choice other than to write the facts as they happened - the good with the bad!
What about your book makes it special?  I believe the fact that my book is a true story makes it special, along with the fact a lot of innocent people were harmed and still suffer, even today from and evil and wicked deeds.
What is your marketing plan? My marketing plan is to grant interviews like this one and telling everyone who will listen about the impact and misery crime against humanity has on innocent victims.
Where can people learn more about you and your work?   Information about my book and myself is on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords. When they get a chance, they can also find information on my website or blog.  The link to my website is:http://jeanniewalkerbooks.com  The link to my blog is: http://jeannie-walker.blogspot.com  
Any tips for new writers hoping to write in the genre of your book?Honestly, I hope none of your readers become crime victims.  But, if they are put into a similar situation, I hope they fight for their rights and the rights of their loved ones. I believe they will need to research any material they might need and keep a diary of what they did. I think that is a good start for any writer who plans on penning a non-fiction book. And, like Stephen King says, read every book you can get your hands on. It takes a good reader to become a good writer.
What’s in the future for you? I am currently working on the true story of my father and paternal grandmother whose ancestors were on the Trail of Tears.


ExcerptThere was a time when the millionaire rancher, Jerry Sternadel, gave all the orders. No one dared to tell him times were a-changin'. When he discovered in May of 1990 that his wife, Lou Ann, and his bookkeeper, Debbie Baker, had stolen thousands of dollars from him, he demanded the money back by Memorial Day, threatening to have them arrested for embezzlement if they did not. He also told his wife he was going to divorce her.A week before Memorial Day, Jerry ate lunch with Lou Ann and Debbie as he often did.Soon after consuming his taco salad, he became violently ill, with nausea, vomiting, and severe diarrhea. He was admitted to the hospital on three different occasions between May 23 and June 12.Doctors were mystified as to what was causing this otherwise healthy forty-nine-year-old man to become so deathly ill. Jerry did not smoke or drink and he exercised daily. During his final stay in the hospital, toxicology tests showed 4,895 mcg of arsenic in his system. Even while he was a patient in the hospital, the arsenic levels had continued to climb!Jerry told nurses and anyone within earshot that his wife and bookkeeper were killing him.                                          —excerpt from "Fighting the Devil"

Touching, Heartfelt Award Winning True Crime Story

Dianna Bellerose"Fighting the Devil" is a touching, heartfelt story about love, abuse and crime. I had a wonderful time reading it because the main character is the author herself. It is very engaging, wonderfully written, so much information about the death of her ex husband. Love the determination of the main character to help the authorities for the truth to come out. It is sad because her husband is abusive towards her and their children during their marriage. I admire her for being so faithful and great example for women globally with her unbreakable spirit.
Another great story about a powerful woman who overcame all odds in helping law enforcement solve the horrific murder of her millionaire ex-husband.       "Fighting the Devil"

"Fighting the Devil" - An Unforgettable & Very Unique True Crime Story

Cinnamon:  Avid Reader

"Fighting the Devil" is an unforgettable & very unique true crime story I saw this story on the television show Snapped so I bought the book. I was glad I did. It gave me a unique perspective of the murder. The murdered millionaire's ex-wife had good reason to hate this man but she still had compassion for him. She took it on her own to find out how he was murdered and helped the cops solve the crime.  I felt as though I was with the author as she searched for answers and fought the devil in the process. It was a very interesting book.

Awakenings connection and interview with award-winning author Jeannie Walker

Ever feel like you are 'fighting the devil' - nowhere to turn, no end in sight? An Awakenings connection and interview with Jeannie Walker,award-winning author of  Fighting the Devil
As you ponder this question, think back to generations past when the first settlers set foot on the shores of America. Think about the hardships endured before the journey, during the journey and after the journey. What about sacrifices - family, friends, loved ones - left behind or lost along the way? 'Twas not an easy task, the founding of a nation, the break from tyranny, revolution, liberation, adaptation. . .So, would you say 'fighting the devil' was a daily part of life?
Throughout history lies evidence of instances reflective of 'fighting the devil'. They exist within homes, on the streets, in the daylight and under the murkiness of darkness. Story after story has been told and/or written of encounters that endanger lives and destroy families. Some live to tell their story while others do not. Those that do survive never truly live without fear for too many hauntings shroud their very being. 
As far back as recorded history, tales cast foreboding shadows, some fact, others fiction. Then, there are those limitless unrecorded messages ingrained within hearts, minds, and souls that scream to be let out but fear or lack of courage forbids the story to be told. Some perhaps find friends or relatives willing to listen while others fall on a deaf ear. Even those that listen are not ardent believers.

While you may not have been a victim or personally known someone who has endured torment, mentally or physically, there may be someone in your ancestral chain that endured the unimaginable. Someone somewhere knows! Perhaps it is a story lying dormant awaiting a moment of rebirth for a restless soul to finally find peace. Jeannie Walker
With this background in mind, Awakenings has invited
a visitor to her site today - Jeannie Walker, author of  "Fighting the Devil", True Story of Consuming Passion, Deadly Poison, and Murder.   Thank you for talking with us today, Jeannie. For people who aren't familiar with who you are, please tell us about yourself.
Jeannie:  I grew up in rural Oklahoma and later Texas. Most of the reading and writing I did was in school. Growing up on a farm didn't leave a lot of time for anything else except tending to farm animals, feeding and watering the chickens, gathering the eggs, milking the cows, and feeding the pigs. Then, there was harvest time when the entire family had to pull cotton, combine wheat, and bale hay. Any spare time I got, I spent outside sitting under a big oak tree enjoying nature and reading a good book. My English teacher at Lone Wolf, Oklahoma was a big influence in my life. Mrs. Schreiner encouraged all her students to excel in reading and writing. I worked hard to achieve excellence and make straight A's because of the respect I had for Mrs. Schreiner and my other teachers in school.       

I have a lot of hobbies. I like to golf, play tennis, take walks and ride my bike. I also like to sing, read and write. I believe being in tune with nature helps me to understand how to be happy. My main love is God. My best friend is Jesus Christ. He leads me, talks with me and walks with me. When I get too weak to carry on, He carries me. That's why there is only one footprint in the sand.
Jeannie, as we share this time together, hopefully all who read will gain a better understanding of how one can 'fight the devil' and ultimately come out the winner. Is this perhaps the premise behind your writing?
Jeannie:  I write because I love it. I write because I believe in truth and justice. I write because I want to reach out and tell people to keep trying, to do all they can because in the end, it is worth it and to let them know they are not alone in their struggle(s).
Would you give us a little insight into your story? I understand it is a true account of your ex-husband's murder. Is that right?
Jeannie:  Yes, that's correct. I lived in Long Island, New York. On June 12th, my daughter called and informed me that her dad (my former ex-husband Jerry Sternadel) had died from arsenic poison. The very next morning I was on an airplane flying from Long Island, New York to Texas to comfort my children.  I knew my ex-husband had been murdered and I was pretty sure who murdered him. I began writing down my memories and recollections about my relationship with my ex-husband and the woman he married after we divorced. I wanted to document the past events and current events for my children and grandchildren. I also wanted to give the authorities any information I could on my ex-husband, his business dealings and his widow.  
It is sorrowful enough when any of us goes through the loss of a loved one, but to experience a murder is not Please tell us more about the murder.
Jeannie:  Jerry Sternadel, was a self-made Texas millionaire. He was poisoned to death in 1990. While hospitalized, he told nurses and doctors alike that two women, his wife and bookkeeper, 
were poisoning him. The hospital staff did not believe his accusations and continued to let the murder suspects have access to him as he lay dying in his hospital bed. 

He eventually died in the hospital while strapped down to his hospital bed with restraints on his hands and feet and tubes in every orifice. Upon his death, an anonymous caller tipped off the police.
The authorities quickly determined that millionaire Jerry Sternadel had died from arsenic poisoning.  The widow was the sole beneficiary of the million-dollar estate and a $350,000 life insurance policy. It was later learned that just before Jerry's death a teenager had visited the Sternadel ranch and became deathly ill after he drank juice that was in the refrigerator. Two years after the death of Jerry Sternadel, a bottle of arsenic was found in a storage locker rentedby a woman under an assumed name.
The sheriff asked me to help with the investigation because the small county could not afford and did not have the time or resources to do extensive research. I quickly decided to become a sleuth to help solve the murder and the Sheriff deputized me over the phone.I began my research by reading everything I could about arsenic poison and its effect on a human being. I read books about people who use poison as a weapon to kill. I started contacting toxicologists, medical examiners, detectives who had solved arsenic murder cases, District Attorneys who had handed arsenic murder cases, the EPA and even the FBI in Quantico, Virginia.
It is very remarkable, Jeannie, how you managed such an undertaking. The murder alone and its effect on your children were stresses enough without taking on more. Now that you have brought the entire story to the surface and completed your book, is there any thing special you learned that you would like to share?
Jeannie:  I learned a person must never give up looking for truth and justice.  Most importantly, I learned we all have to 'fight the devil' every minute of every day. 
What is your hope for readers of your story?
Jeannie:  It is my hope that anyone who reads my book will come to the realization that they are not alone in their struggles, no matter how big or small. And that they have the ability to overcome and the right to become their loved one's advocate ... if necessary, to become their own, real-life Sherlock Holmes. I hope readers will realize God will walk beside them every step of the way in their trials and tribulations.

Pat GarciaSeptember 19, 2012 1:44 PMHi Sharla,

Thank you for this interesting review on Fighting the Devil. My book list is getting longer. This is again another book that I want to read. It is a timely book for our world today, especially since we have Pastors preaching from the pulpits that there is no devil! At least, some Pastors are doing that here in Germany. I also enjoyed hearing that Jeannie has written her book with the positive affirmation to not give up, because God cares and loves us.
I enjoyed the interview very much.

Ciao,
Patricia

"Fighting the Devil" OMG! What a Compelling Book!

Sharla Shults - Author   "Fighting the Devil" by Jeannie Walker    What a compelling book! I became so absorbed I could not put it down once I started reading!  
"Fighting the Devil" is a very compelling book that illustrates what can truly happen in REAL LIFE, not as seen on TV! This is a story with lasting emotions being continuously felt to present day. The spiritual encounters leave you spellbound as the plot twists and turns presenting a myriad of questions with and without answers. It is hard to believe how anyone can endure so much and yet survive.
I could not believe the verdict ... but, I have always heard 'every dog has its day' so maybe the truth with justified punishment is yet to come! ***********Sharla's Shults books:  Remembering & Echoes                                           Sharla's Link on Amazon

TODAY is the right time for a MIRACLE...

Glenda Bixler "The Rain Snake" by Jeannie Walker
Amazon: The Rain Snake
Today seems to be just the right day to read and write about a miracle, don't you think? Especially if you are with young children and can read it for them and then give it as a gift!
I loved the concept of the story, sharing the miracles of another culture with all children, and a little historical background...plus of course the true story that happened in the life of the author!
Oklahoma had been set aside as Native Indian territory and had asked that the state name be Sequoah - which makes sense if it indeed was to be the home of our Native Americans. Instead, Oklahoma was the given name of the state that was recognized in 1907...
It was 1955 when Woody Maxwell, a local farmer, was having major problems during a long drought that had hit the State. Woody was Jeannie's father and she was a young tomboy who helped her Dad, who was a Cherokee Indian, as much as she could to run their farm, which included both crops and animals...
One day, they were out riding and Jeannie saw a paper bag that was moving! She immediately pointed it out to her father who stopped and got out to see what it was...A was a puppy! But he was in bad shape and needed food! They took him home and started feeding him a little milk. They called him Rinty after the story of Rin Tin Tin and her father took the time to explain who that dog was and how he became famous...
Her Dad told Jeannie about the Indian legend of rain making--but he quickly warned her that snakes were dangerous and that she should stay away from them. Jeannie shared that Rinty let her know when a snake was around and they always ran away! But one day during the chore of egg gathering, Jeannie and Rinty discovered that a chicken snake was stealing their eggs. She ran to tell her father... Her father killed it...and, guess what, eggs starting rolling out of its mouth! Jeannie declared she'd never seen anything like that! But she later took that snake and tried the legend and it worked! It rained!

Five Star True Crime is disturbing story of evil caused by greed

Rickey Bray - Author "Fighting the Devil" by Jeannie Walker A True Story of Consuming Passion, Deadly Poison, and Murder                Amazon 'Fighting the Devil'
After reading the first chapter of this book, you are drawn into this emotional story and come to understand that Jerry Sternadel was not a very nice person. He treated his ex-wife, his wife, his children, his stepchildren, employees, and business associates very badly. But did he deserve to be poisoned with arsenic like a rat? Definitely, not! Fighting the Devil by Jeannie Walker is about the arsenic murder of her ex-husband Jerry Sternadel, a Texas millionaire. With meticulous detail, the author chronicles the events of a murder that happened about 20 years ago. Her recollection of the details are amazing, to the point that you are almost overwhelmed with information about this case. I really don’t like to give out spoilers in reviews, but several things in the book will surprise you. One was the actions of the hospital after it was determined that Mr. Sternadel was suffering from acute arsenic poisoning. Wouldn’t they launch an immediate investigation to find the source of the poisoning? As you read the book, the results of the criminal investigation, and, especially, the sentencing phase of the trial will come as a shocker. Do you know what the range of punishment in Texas for first-degree murder is? Another surprise will be who was brought up on criminal charges and who wasn’t, and who did not even attend the murder trial! Some of the interviews after the trial with some of the jurors was also very enlightening – the pressure they were put under to come up with a unanimous verdict, even one they disagreed with in their hearts, so the trial could be over and they could go home. Although Fighting the Devil is a disturbing story of evil caused by greed, it is also a story of forgiveness. Although treated very badly by her volatile ex-husband, it seems that Jeannie Walker had truly forgiven him of his meanness and made it her personal goal to see that the murder or murders of her children’s father be brought to justice - even after years had passed! Separating this book from ordinary true crime novels, Jeannie Walker, in a stroke of writing genius, also includes omens she senses during these trying times and her battles with demons in her nightmares. Evil demons truly strike us first in our minds, and then the evilness in our minds allows our bodies to do evil things; hence the human quest for some form of spirituality to keep our minds healthy. I think the author is still determined to bring others involved in the murder of her ex-husband to justice. She seems to be a very focused woman, a driving force in the criminal investigation and the cohesive factor holding her family together during these trying times. With not all suspects brought to justice, from the determination I sense in this book, I’m sure that Jeannie Walker will not stop now in her quest for justice.

"Riveting" 5 Star True Crime Book of Millionaire's Murder

Richard Hale -Author"Fighting the Devil"
              Amazon-Fighting the Devil
Jerry Sternadel is dead and his ex-wife needs to know why. FIGHTING THE DEVIL is the story of greed and murder in Texas, and the journey one woman travels to prove her ex-husband’s death was not an accident. Jeannie Walker, the author, knows her ex-husband was poisoned and will not rest until justice prevails.
The story, shocking in its cruelty, touching in its tenderness, and frightening in its reality, draws you in and holds your attention from the very beginning. Ms. Walker’s courage and fortitude are a testament to her faith. She would not back down. And even though Jerry Sternadel had been cruel in his treatment of his wife and children, Jeannie Walker found it in her heart to forgive him and pursue his killer relentlessly.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tale, and what made it even that much more riveting, was the fact it was a true story. Bravo Ms. Walker! Bravo!
