Truth in advertising.....

Someone asked me recently if my friends and family members wrote the online book reviews that appear on Amazon and elsewhere. The answer is a qualified 'no.' None of my family members has written any of the reviews and neither have I. A couple of friends read my book, told me they liked it and I suggested they post a review so they did. BUT the majorit y of the reviews were written by people I do not know hence 'truth in advertising.'

Here are some recent comments left by bloggers/posters on various interview sites, including courttv.com about my new book "Nightmare in Napa." To my knowledge, I don't know any of these folks but I'm appreciative. Thanks.

-- "I was pleasantly surprised that this was one of the few crime books I've read that didn't have crime scene photos in it.

I thought the author did a good job in conveying the vibrancy of the two women and the sad and sweet dynamics of their families and friends.

The love of daughters and mothers resonated thru out the book, along with the love of friends."

-- "I just recently finished your book and couldn't put it down. I am a true crime fanatic and can't believe this guy flew under the radar of the police."

-- "What a book! I couldn't stop reading from the moment I started . I was utterly fascinated - and rather horrified.

Paul,you have done another thorough job of reporting!

I highly recommend this book as well as "Tacoma Confidential.""

-- "I think you did an EXCELLENT job writing both books! I enjoyed reading "Nightmare in Napa" but "Tacoma confidential" really impressed me! "

-- " The book was great, it held my attention to the last word.
I like the way you treated the story, and the people it all involved.
I liked the pics , nothing depressing or crude.
You have written 2 good books, Thanks"
