Craig was married to my sister. It will be interesting to see how much he let you into his deranged world. I will be very interested in reading your book. Craig was married to my sister.

Nothing against your writing.....actually, I love the way it reads....however, I almost feel like a traitor for reading about Craig's horrific crimes. My family and I cut our ties from him long ago.....we felt so betrayed after learning about the murders. Apparently, he wore his "mask" very well in front of us......as we befriended him during that time, feeling sorry for the problems that he was encountering with his family.....it really creates a knot in my stomach. It's beyond me at this point to support him, however, I do wish you the best in your endeavor to author this true crime story. Do your homework.....his "mask" may be thicker than you know.

I was going to say I guess you're right, but I think that would be pushing it...too many writes, right. What Lewis says is very true...but my favorite quote is the one I have at the top of my blog. "The difference between the right word and almost right word, is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug" ~ Mark Twain It's amazing just how true this is. I've seen it hundreds of times in my own editing, how a changed word here or there can make or break a piece of writing.
