Be Careful Who You Love – Audiobook
The explosive, definitive account of Michael Jackson’s fall from grace has now been updated with four new fascinating chapters.

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.

Beware: Unsettled Times Like These Spark Suicides
As a run-up to the Fourth of July Americans typically buy beer, BBQ meats and fireworks. This year, as so many have become overwhelmed by the anxiety and uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic, Americans are buying guns at a record pace.
Make no mistake, more guns equal more suicides.
The Devil in the Details of Police Reform
The time for serious police reforms has come. There is no ignoring that fact. Cities and states around the nation are already working on what those reforms will look like.
Colorado just implemented a new set of standards that other jurisdictions are sure to study. It includes:
Crimes Against Common Sense
What the hell is going on in this country? When did we, the majority, stop speaking up for ourselves? Crimes against common sense seem to happen every week, yet most of us stay silent.
Or is it that the media only highlights those who scream the loudest, leaving the impression that what they demand must be implemented?
A Time of Reckoning Over Race in America
If you don’t agree that black lives matter you should stop reading now.
Conversely, if you believe blacks in America are victims of a deadly conspiracy of systemic police racism you may want to look away. The facts simply do not bear out that claim.
Recognizing Enemies of the State
As if the current COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t created enough chaos in our lives yet another outrageous, race-based police brutality case emerged to engulf the nation in its terrifying aftermath.
Righteous street protests were infiltrated by agitators whose sole goal was to create mayhem, destroy property and upset the delicate balance of a society just getting back on its feet.
Murder as a Public Service?
On the evening of May 14, 2020 in Omaha, Nebraska James Fairbanks went to the home of Mattieo Condoluci and shot him dead. Candoluci, 64, was a twice convicted pedophile and Fairbanks, 43, had spent years working with troubled kids in the Omaha Public School system.
After the body was discovered the dead man’s daughter, Amanda Henry, was quoted saying, “Murdering my dad was a horrible thing but children are much safer now.”
