An Award Winning Series on Guardianship
My investigative research has uncovered a major flaw in America’s court system. It has to do with how overburdened and underfunded courts deal with family disputes over what to do with an elderly Mom or Dad. A growing number of families, nationwide, have learned that once a family member turns to the courts for help their parent could be placed under an odious elder guardianship situation managed by total stranger. Families caught up in this system say it turned their aging parent’s final years into a nightmare. These are my findings about the system in one state.

My Latest Book Has Landed!
Check out the cool trailer for my latest book. Just click in the box above.
Thinking Outside The Crime and Justice Box is a compilation of some of my favorite and most thought provoking columns – with updates and new text. The book discusses today’s headline crime cases as well as crime and justice issues readers may not realize even existed. Compelling human stories at the core of crime are often the centerpiece of my columns and reading about stranger’s struggles can help readers better understand the dynamics surrounding crime, law enforcement and justice. Look, there is good and evil in the world and I figure it is my job to point it out.
The e-book is available here: – here. The hold-in-your-hand book is coming soon! Thanks to the kind folks at Creators Publishing.

Time to Change the Way We Vote
There’s been much said lately about the way we vote in this country. Especially now that COVID-19 has overloaded the mail-in voting process and states cannot agree on a uniform way to gather and count those ballots.
Complaints about misprinted or discarded ballots. Charges of voter suppression and rigged elections. The 2020 presidential election could go down in history as the most controversial ever.
Social Media Censorship – Fact Checking Your News Source
There are no laws to shield people from misinformation. So as the nation chugs toward the final stretch of the presidential campaign Americans need to take a good look at where they gathered the information that formed their political opinions.
If your news flows primarily from social media sources like Facebook, Twitter or YouTube you are not alone.
Tracking COVID-19 at the Expense of Personal Privacy
It is another one of those existential dilemmas. We understand the deadly nature of the COVID-19 virus but as the nation tries to control the pandemic how much of our individual freedoms are we willing to give up?
Mandatory masks or no masks? If another stay-at-home mandate is issued do you comply? And what about freedom for the kids we send off to school?
Where is Everybody?
There is too much financial uncertainty, political conflict and outbursts of random violence these days.
We were already feeling frustrated with the prolonged isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic when waves of outrage began to spark.
Whose Child Does This?
It was approaching dusk outside the St. Francis Medical Center in Lynnwood, California. As the sun set, the air filled with the scent of devastating nearby wildfires, ambulances raced to the hospital’s emergency room bearing two grievously wounded LA County sheriff’s deputies.
The ambushed pair had been shot in the head while sitting in their patrol car.
