You are very welcome!!
It looks like Patsy is gritting her teeth, and probably saying..."HOLD STILL, and look like you are having fun!" They say that they didn't videotape that morning, because they had forgotten to charge the battery. What about the power cord?? Anyway, I find it hard to believe, that as much as they like to document every single thing, that they wouldn't have videotaped a major event like Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning.
In case you haven't already...check your pm's.

That's exactly what it is. Fake smiles. You can tell because there are no crinkles around their eyes. That's too bad because it shows how beautiful JonBenet was without all that makeup. And, if I may say so, it shows how pretty Patsy could be too. They lived in a looks-are-everything world. It's just heartbreaking. Two wind-up dolls used for other people's pleasure. They didn't know any better! I don't blame Patsy for any of this. I blame HER mother! Nedra screwed up her daughters so bad they never had a chance! And neither did JB. I cover this in my epilogue. I defy you not to cry when you read it.

Yeah, I wonder about that too.
Say, can anyone here think of anything they'd like to see covered in the book? Just in case I've missed anything.

SD - Will you have a chapter on how they pointed the finger at all their friends. You could call it "The
Blame Game."
I think it would be great if you would dedicate the book
to JonBenet - I know you could write a meaningful dedication to her.

I can't remember if you mentioned the wiped down flashlight AND batteries. Don't forget the blanket and Barbie night gown! What about Patsy breaking down in tears when she saw the balled up red turtleneck on the bathroom counter? What about the fact that if Patsy used a different Sharpie, than the one that the RN "author" used, that it would have written differently, depending on how worn the tip was..causing just a few experts to agree that Patsy didn't write the RN. A flatter sharpie, would cause wider, fatter letters.

Thank you, Ames. I've been looking for this pic myself with no luck, so thank you so much and heymom too !
As far as pic goes---IMO-- that looks like a tight grip in a controlling way--
SD-- would be first in line to get your book-- and im thinking on that title.. something that slams all the
's like tracey and lacy..etc....
so yea, it would be a long,title..!LOLA very good idea, on both counts.
I brought that up as well, sort of in passing.
Chapter Eight!

What about the fact that an intruder wouldn't have known when the Ramsey's would be returning, or where they went. But yet, he supposedly spent hours in the Ramsey home, lurking around...and writing an almost three page RN. Not having a clue as to when they would be home. Did you get the inconsistancies in their interviews? What about the fact that an intruder would have had to USE that flashlight to see in the dark with...and to climb out that dark basement window with, but yet...he so kindly wiped it down and the batteries and left it behind, when taking it would have been SO much easier...not to mention faster. (I believe that the flashlight left on the counter was part of the staging). If, in fact...the flashlight was used to cause the head wound...why would the Ramsey's wipe it off and leave it in plain sight?? They would have been hiding that sucker...Pammy would have been taking it away like she did all of the other evidence. I think that they MEANT for the police to see it, analyze it...and believe that an INTRUDER wiped off his prints. The key to this is, why would he have also wiped off the batteries?? Anyway...just brain storming here.

Could you call your book...
"Mary Lacy Wants To Sleep With John Ramsey, And Have His Children, If He Wasn't Too Old To Produce Them, and They Both Su_k" ???
Or
"Mary Lacy Had To Have Her Lips Surgically Removed From John Ramsey's Butt".
Hey, they are just suggestions..:crazy:
I did all that.

Hi SD! I'm not really new here, but I rarely post. I do, however, read all of the posts and especially yours. I wanted to thank you for writing a book about that hellish night in the Ramsey home. I have a few questions for you regarding the book:
1. You seem to be writing this book very quickly. How long is each chapter?
2. Is what you are writing now just the basis for your book and will be fine tuned and enarged after you find a publisher?
3. Are you going to look for a publisher or have it printed yourself?
4. Are you at all afraid that LW the R's attorney will come after you?
Thanks again for all of your hard work and dedication to the case. And a big hello to everyone on the forum. I hope to get to know you all.

Not a title, but I did work it in!
Don't forget how Houdini the intruder pulled a chair THROUGH A CLOSED DOOR after him when he escaped out the train room window BY BALANCING ON A SUITCASE WITHOUT KNOCKING IT OVER AND SCALING UP A WALL.
I would have loved to see Smit climb OUT the window that way instead of that silly photo of him climbing in.

Hello, Zak. Glad to see you.
1) Well, that's one of the problems I have, Zak. The book's turning out much shorter than I figured it would. I guess the reason for this is that I don't spend much time on minutiae. I figure that someone who isn't familiar with the case like we are would want to stick to the high points. Secondly, my writing style is very straightforward. I cut through the bull. So that's why I'm looking for stuff to tackle in it.
2) I imagine the publisher, if I can find one, will request some fine-tuning, but I will do what I can to maintain my creative control.
3) I plan to look for a publisher, and my brother's friend was published last year, so he might know who to go to. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to print it myself.
4) Oh, boy. You had to bring that up. I actually haven't given that much thought. Truth to say, I'm ambivalent. I suppose I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit afraid, especially now with the DA so firmly in their corner. Pretty unlikely I'd get my hands on that case file. Plus, I can't afford anywhere near the type of legal talent John has on my own. I mean, I'd like to think that folks here would support me, but I won't presume anything unless they say so.
Conversely, and I know Tricia will agree, you can't run from bullies, and that's just what they are. Since I started writing this I have this image of me squaring off with them on TV and REALLY going to town! Plus, I notice that ever since the FOXNews suit got booted, they don't seem to go after too many people. Wood threatened Wendy Murphy, but in the two years since he hasn't done a single thing about it, though she's given him plenty of chances. Same with Marc Klaas. And nothing would please me more than to get John on the stand and just obliterate him. And you can bet that I wouldn't make the same mistakes that Wolf and Hoffman made!
Bottom line: if they don't like what I have to say, then challenge it publicly. Debate me all you like. But don't try to strongarm me with threats. We've still got Freedom of Speech in this country, last I checked. That's my take on it.
Besides, they might not have a case. Since Patsy's dead, I state clearly that Burke is innocent, and John possibly could be considered a public figure due to his political activities, that doesn't leave much room for a suit, does it? And, since I state that these are my opinions except where noted, that cuts it down even more. I've got the disclaimers.
But John's just one target in the book. I refer to Michael Tracey as, and this is right from the book, "an arrogant lying no-good son-of-a-b**ch," a designation I lay on his colleague, Ward Churchill. Think I should change it? I mean, I'm not exactly sure if he could be considered a public figure, although he might be.
Also, I refer to Alex Hunter as "a weak B****rd," but I'm pretty sure he's a public figure.
Mary Lacy is referred to as "idiot-in-chief," and "an utter moron but she's GOT to be a public figure by now.
Our "friend" Susan Bennett gets the treatment. She's the only one I think could have a case. Although, I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything that wasn't true, much of it she brags about. Maybe I shouldn't mention her at all. It would be free publicity for her!
I say in chapter eight that Smit should have gone to jail for taking the evidence he took, since it was illegal. But he's probably a public figure by now. (That's one of the nicer things I say about him!)
Wood himself is mercilessly treated. This passage sums it up:
Wood is an ugly, confrontational bully who uses litigation to enrich his personal finances. He brags about the champion racehorses and custom Jaguars he buys with the proceeds. This practice is known as barratry. It's against the canons of ethics and is grounds for having a law license revoked.
Too much? I mean, the guy HAS to be a public figure, but I have essentially accused him of a crime. I also accuse him of editing the 911 tape, thus tampering with evidence. But then, Lawrence Schiller said pretty much the same thing. And it's possible that he acted in good faith with a poor copy, as Mr. Schiller might suggest. I finish up on him by saying:
Lin Wood is a major reason why this case went nowhere. He bullied a DA's office into protecting child-killers. I hope he has a good story when he stands before the judgment. He'll need it. As far as I'm concerned, Lin Wood, you slimy, ugly, bald unprincipled maggot son-of-a-b***h, you can kiss my a**!
Too strong? Please, someone say something before I give away the whole book!
Did it already!
