I have now begun to write my second book,

"How Did They Die? Murders in Northern Texas 1927-1950. "

As I complete a story, I will post it here.

If you know of a sensational murder story that occurred from 1927-1950 in the Northern half of the state, please send me the details and I will attempt to research it to include in my book.
