Burl Barer lassoed me into doing some Outlaw Radio today, Saturday, June 22, 2013. 2pm California time. Burl's show is like stepping into the rodeo arena - full of wild broncs and crazy clowns. You gotta just hang on, you know it's gonna be a helluva ride!

Burl wants to talk about the Jodi Arias trial. I was at the "hearing" this week. Many have wanted to see her in stripes and chains and I was there when she arrived wearing just that.

I was also there the day Judge Sherry Stephens declared a mistrial. You can see the miserable disappointment that day on the faces of Travis Alexander's loved ones in the pool photo below. In the background, myself and InSession's Jean Casarez.

This week the siblings were not present to see Jodi arrive with a SWAT team surrounding her and her hands in cuffs. One of the things that people forget to think about is the logistical nightmare created by one of these trials for the families of those affected. Children, marriages, jobs, financial strain, all aspects of one's life are disrupted. Traveling to sit around for over an hour while the parties met in chambers and then to hear the judge utter one or two sentences from the bench would have made little sense for these brothers and sisters. But I know the sense of being gypped out of their own perfect attendance record is part of their "collateral damage" feelings of frustration and anger during their journey through the criminal justice system. 

See you this afternoon on Burl's Outlaw Radio to talk about all of it more.

Camille...a True Crime Hottie????!!!

Burl Barer is a scary outlaw who wields a wicked...keyboard.  An acclaimed writer whose life veers dizzyingly between fiction and non-fiction, mashing the two together with his use of real and non-real names in the opposite genres like literary bumper cars, Burl has dared me to come on his radio show!




Let's hope I can hold my own as I am now officially designated a True Crime Hottie!  Holy smokes, did I just say that? I promise, I'm just quoting Burl! My debut is tomorrow (Sat. Sep 29th, 2012) at 2 pm Pacific, 5 pm Eastern.  Here's the link with the details...and the spot to listen in. http://outlawcrime.com/

Burl and I are officially colleagues by both appearing in the true crime anthology Masters of True Crime. 

I've read Burl's story in this collection. His is #7, The Alaska Mail-Bomb conspiracy. Boy, can this guy write. I dare you to read the first paragraph (his story starts on page 97) and not be hooked.

You might be so in the mood for true crime by the time he's done with you, you'll just be swept along into reading story #8, The Trophy Wife, right after. **darts eyes around slyly**   Hey, Burl, does that make you my opening act?!

I can't believe I said that, either!  Burl just brings out the ornery in me. See, I can't match the guy in wit, I'm gettin' all jittery, what to do???!!!

In all seriousness, I am very honored to be included in the same collection as this very fine and highly accomplished writer. I am thrilled that he has invited me on his show. And I'm definitely quaking at the knees to face him on the radio!

Will he ask me about the no-body case that I wrote about in Masters of True Crime? 

 Or will he hit me up on the trial I'm currently attending (also a no-body case--see posts on #ElizabethJohnson #BabyGabriel)? 

Or will he take me down the trail of Hollywood, screenplays, and the nitty-gritty of Writing For a Living?

Hey, why not download a kindle copy of Masters of True Crime and have questions ready for us?

 

Hope to hear from you...on Outlaw Crime Radio!

Masters of True Crime -- It's Here!

Can't stop reading today....my copy arrived in the mail....and it's gripping!  

The MASTERS OF TRUE CRIME: CHILLING STORIES OF THE MURDER AND THE MACABRE anthology is here. 

So far I've read Katherine Ramsland's tale of an evil woman in Mussolini's Italy who would put the medieval witch in Hansel and Gretel to shame.  Burl Barer's Alaskan story of a pack of siblings whose dreams...carried out in deeds...lead to a jury making up its own charge. Hey! The Burl Barer story, #7, leads right to "The Trophy Wife." Story #8 is written by Camille Kimball.  I admit, I read that, too.  Hint: The trophy wife is not the person you think it would be...

I can't wait to get to Harold Schechter's contribution next, a story which transports us to a high-brow and ritzy neighborhood, into the home of a luminary of the Golden Age of publishing, broadcasting, and academia. 

I realized I better come here first and share the news about this anthology -- that it's finally in a bookstore near you!  Or just click here and get it instantly.

MASTERS OF TRUE CRIME is perfect for when you have an appetite for a good story...and want to consume the whole thing before the laundry buzzer rings or the garage guys finish with your car. Each story is self contained and separate from the others. Sample the writing of seventeen different veterans of the true crime genre as they bring you stories from Britain to Manhattan, from Tennessee to Michigan, from the frozen expanses of Alaska to the prickly heat of Arizona.  

As for Story #8, I have something special planned for you. There have been new developments since that book went to press. Why not get a copy--or give--a copy in time to check back here for the update? I will post the new developments to The Trophy Wife next week.
