I’m amazed and flattered that five years after my book was published, I still needed to order 10 copies of “The Potato Masher: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband” for future appearances. Thanks to the more than 1,000 readers who already have bought copies. @KentStateUPress

The most fun I’ve had in five years of book programs! Tonight, I spoke to the Axehead Beverage Co. Book Club in Seymour, MO, where Helen and I owned the newspaper in the 1990s. All had read "The Potato Masher Murder" and had their own theories about the case. @KentStateUPress
