After the trial was over, I wrote a book proposal and took a six-month leave to write it. It was so satisfying to be able to dig deep into a case (versus being so limited with short stories in the newspaper) that I quit the paper to pursue being an author full-time. My seventh book hit the NYT bestseller list, and I'm now about to release my 14th book. I love the freedom of picking the stories I want to investigate in depth. (less)

I used court documents in my research and also interviewed key players in the case. But I didn't write an entire book on the case. It's featured in a collection of 10 magazine-length true crime stories and this was one of them, in LOVE GONE WRONG. (less)

HOOKED: The never-ending book tour has begun. Again.

This is the third book in a year, with one more to come in June. That's four in 15 months. Not that I'm complaining! By Caitlin Rother It seems that I just finished the last phase of my never-ending book tour, but here we are for the next round. At long last, my new thriller, HOOKED, was officially released on Feb. 1! It only took me 19 years to get this one published, but I’m writing my novels mu Read more of this blog post »

“second”
Caitlin Rother, Lost Girls

“from author and historian Washington Irving (1783–1859): There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief ... and unspeakable love.”
Caitlin Rother, Lost Girls
