My James Madison Freedom of Information award winning podcast made possible by SF Sunshine Task Force. Without it, police would have buried this botched investigation forever podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
I’ve shifted my mindset on a case. I was so convinced client right in his case facts that I believed him and bought the bias.
Now, I’m not believing him until something confirms any part of his account.
We all get hoodwinked.
When the attorney tells me where to search for something, despite my instincts as a reporter and private eye of 40 years.
When I find it in my place, do I do a subtle I told you so? I just might .
And the sun sets in the west…the law firm that sits on a case for six months before turning the witness interview request into the most urgent task ever.
Very cool!
I had the opportunity to interview SA Cosby for NOIRxNW, talking about short fiction, its effect on his novel writing, as well as character, class, violence, and challenging perceptions. #crimefiction #SACosby

I’m a Dem but I don’t like seeing the mailers with names of entrenched candidates I’ve heard of for more than 20 years. Go do something else. The Bontas.
Dog almost died a year ago. Bad infection and she was hemorrhaging. Six total ER visits. They fixed her when gave a steroid. Said pancreas and vitamin B issue. They never knew exactly. My best guess was from eating goose poop, got a bad batch. Even with insurance major cost.
My head spins from reading this. Was she found or not? flip.it/HxTTiA

My new novel Quimmering Springs drops.
Friend at the local theater put up some ads for me running pre-show. Very cool of the Porcupine Theater to do!
Something about this time of year. Another departed rugby teammate, Mike Dahlman. Knew him and played with him 1992-1994. Quick bond. Huge lock, jumper who could really run. Liked weed, the Bears, Iggy Pop, Florida beaches, VW vans.

A Sacramento cop restrained a woman. He smiled. She died. Now, family demands answers sacbee.com/news/local/articl…
Podcasters: ever had to interview anyone you just can’t stand? Yes. Of course it’s a part of journalism. Doesn’t make it easier if you want to punch the person.
Thanks for the review, Jay. It's the only short, fun, nonfiction book about what a private investigator actually does. And, mini-memoir.
