    Dave-- What a great career! Your book will be terrific. Mine is also a serial killer story. I did a lot of research...

    Hi Dave, thanks for the comments.... at times I don't feel very strong when I think about my sons who are no longer with me....but the system isn't fair and never has been.

    My youngest son and I used to speak at the schools to the kids trying to stop them from going down a wrong path in life and to watch those they are friends with. Jeff never did anything wrong in his life and yet he was killed....and trevor did so much good talking to the teens and he was killed two years ago.

    I haven't spoken since then as it's still too hard but I'm hoping to get back to it sometime. My latest book, A Mothers Torment tells of it all, with trial testimony from both trials to show how testimony was changed....

    I was near Waco the year I was on the run, and the people were so nice in Texas...but the weather was too hot for me and no green grass or mountains....
    anyway, thanks for the comment ...Shirley

    Shirley,

    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss of both sons. No parent should have to endure anything as horrible as that.

    As far as Texas being hot and dry - we've had nothing but rain for two months and everything is green, green, green. And, the temp has been in the mid-eighties. I've never seen a summer like this one. And also, the people of Texas day-in and day-out are so friendly to anyone that passes through.
