signed books

Hi- I stopped by McNally Jackson in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and they now have a few signed copies of The Good Nurse and one signed hardcover of The Breakthrough. And they ship. FYI. I like signed books (by other authors), so if you or someone on your list does too-

Is the Charles Cullen case "open"?

I'm just putting it out there.

Readers of the book The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder know that we've yet to get a full accounting of Cullen's crimes, and the many questions about what hospital administrator's knew and when they knew it have yet to be answered on the record (or in front of a Grand Jury, as would be appropriate).

So has the Essex County Prosecutors Office reopened the case, or brought anyone in from Cold Case work to find the hundreds of unaccounted-for murders?

Yes. In fact, right after the movie came out, they reopened the investigation....

But political pressure shut it down before the investigators could start.

This is the same old crap and we should not stand for it. I'm trying, but I need your help to get the detectives back on the case, and the hospital administrators who let a serial killer move on and continue to work and kill- but always with neutral or positive references- in front of a Grand Jury.

Goodreads and Amazon reviews

I was asked recently about what the folks who have enjoyed my books might do to spread the word about them and share with others. One thing you can do is take 2 minutes to post a review on Amazon- even just a star rating and an emoji does the trick. Turns out, that matters- and it also turns out there are people who trash books with 1 star, but haven't even read the book (they're just looking to become a super-reviewer- you can report them if so inclined). So, if you appreciated The Breakthrough or The Good Nurse (or both), it would mean a lot if you could say so on Amazon too. That helps others know it's worth their time- just like the Goodreads reviews do. Thanks so much for taking the time, and thanks for passing it on!
