The New Year is here, and I've set a lot of goals for myself. One of which, of course, is to finish the novel I am working on. The other is to continue to grow my readership, so feel free to pass on the links to your friends and relatives. I also set up a google site. The link is in this post, and will be added to the sidebar. Check out the facebook page as well! Thanks for reading.

Aphrodite Jones on I.D. Channel
I woke up this morning and saw a commercial on the I.D. channel ( I like to think of it as the murder channel) about Aphrodite Jones and her criminal investigative reporting, crime writing, etc. I suppose that's probably a better paying gig than the one I have at Examiner.com, but I'm just getting started at this. Time and repetition are what makes even the great athletes great. Natural born talent will only take you so far, if left stagnant and unused.
On another note, I slept/watched a show about a con-man who roamed around making fake identities and getting fake mortgages on houses he didn't own. He wrote a book about it long before he ever got caught. I will find out who he is and post some links about it; it seemed like a pretty interesting story. The point is, he proved what you hear all the time: everyone wants to be a writer.
Supposed to meet with a detective in Sumter County to go over the Oak Grove Cemetery case next week. Hopefully I will be able to find some sort of information that can be used to create a news story that will generate some public interest in this tragic case. I may try to submit to some of the local papers. I'll post more as it comes in.

"Midnight Express" movie clip
This is a clip we found about the making of the movie "Midnight Express". The movie depicts the ordeal an American citizen goes through after being incarcerated in a Turkish prison for attempted drug smuggling. The Turks have long said this movie was propaganda designed to harm their culture, no doubt being unaware how much of our entertainment fairly attempts to harm our own culture as well. Statistically speaking, America remains the holder of most people incarcerated on the planet. Whether this means our justice system is more aggressive, effective, unfair, or flawed remains up for debate.

Cold Case files
It seems, with a little research, there are many cold case files in the Central Florida area. Some of them, because of their time frames, appear on the surface to be linked, as in possibly muliple murders created by the same person. Check out the cold case file page to follow along as we investigate some of these cold cases and see what comes of it.
