Ripper book news! Do you have a Nook? If so, you can now get The Bank Holiday Murders on Nook at Barnes & Noble. It's also available (or will become available in the coming days) at Smashword, Scrib, Overdrive, Oyster, and most places ebooks are sold. And, of course, it's still available at Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats. If you live in Australia or anywhere that costs you a ton in postage to order a hard copy book, you can get the book at Book Depository and pay zero postage.

Hi there, Ripper readers. On April 3rd, 127 years ago, Emma Smith was brutally murdered. As she is the first official Whitechapel murder, she has always represented 'ground zero' for study into the Jack the Ripper phenomena. For those interested in learning more about the mysteries surrounding the murder of Emma Smith, as well the other early murders of Emily Horsnell and Martha Tabram, I encourage you to go grab my (if I may say) rather reasonably priced and award-winning book, available in paperback and Kindle via Amazon. The Bank Holiday Murders: The True Story of the First Whitechapel Murders.

I've had a number of readers from different parts of the world lament the high postage they'd have to pay to order a paperback copy of The Bank Holiday Murders. I've just found out (courtesy of Neil Bell) that you can order my book (and Neil's!) completely free of postage through Book Depository! So if you live in Australia, or anywhere else where you have to pay a ton of postage, this seems like a great option.

Jack the Ripper Podcast TONIGHT at ZTalkRadio.com's great new show, The House of Mystery, hosted by the ever-curious and rarely spurious Alan Warren. Tom Wescott talks all about his book The Bank Holiday Murders, as well as the recent theories involving suspects Aaron Kosminski and Charles Lechmere. The show is available for free and will be available in the archives for later download.

A brand new podcast is now up that was just recorded this evening between myself and the good fellows of The Generation Why Podcast - Aaron Habel and Justin Evans. The subject of this podcast is the infamous shawl that's currently in the news and the subject of a book by Russell Edwards, who claims that science has produced DNA conclusively proving who the Ripper was. Give a listen when you get the chance and let me know what you think. http://raasnio.com/GenerationWhyPodcast/jack-the-ripper-identified/
