Katie,
Surely many books will be written on this case. Actually I had hoped you'd write one, because you, unlike, say, BC, are there because you sincerely care. It needn't be exploitative--depends entirely on how it's done. And if it makes you feel better you could share some of the proceeds with families of real victims. If you lack the time, perhaps just your notes as they are, with some editing, could be worth publishing. JMO.
Anyhow, thanks so much for your reporting.
You're welcome. I do think there is a book in me somewhere about something. I'm just not sure what yet. I'm more interested in sharing the message of survival/thriving/living a good life after tragedy so not sure how that fits.
But also maybe there is something to be said about trial watching and putting oneself in a situation you feel drawn to and bringing positive focus in to it.
Nothing describes this better than my (and my friend "Jordy") participation in the Peterson trial. If you guys haven't read this, it's a good read. We went trial watching and ended up producing a piece of evidence used against Scott Peterson completely innocently.
I spoke with the writer of this story yesterday and she's gonna meet up with me at the Ricki Lake taping next week...you meet a lot of great people through things like this too...this case is no different...lots of nice folks I'm meeting.
Anyhoo, here is Katie and Jordy's Excellent Adventure:
