Ideas for book title

[DeeDee249]

If you put it out there as your opinion of the facts, you should be OK. You can't state certain things as facts if you can't prove it, or weren't a witness. Of course, things that are a matter of public record (like depositions or the autopsy report) ARE facts and can be stated as such.

Exactly!

Hopefully when you find a publisher, they will have their attorney go over each chapter before its printed. I think that you should write each chapter as you have been, until the book is complete. Then start at the beginning and add to each chapter. Probably as you reread the book, you will remember lots of information that you had forgotten. In the meantime, everyone here should make a list of case evidence, things said in depostions, certain behavior and just anything that each person believes points to the PDI or RDI theory. The lists may help to jog your memory or give you additional information. Although, you really do know the case like the back of your hand. Out of curiosity, do you refer to books and notes or do you just remember all the facts of the case?

I cannot wait to buy your book, so I will start my list now:clap::clap:

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:

Great long title Ames ! :woohoo:

Yeah, that's probably how it works.

That's what I've been doing, only I add as it comes to my mind.

In the meantime, everyone here should make a list of case evidence, things said in depostions, certain behavior and just anything that each person believes points to the PDI or RDI theory.

Heck, let's include it all. I mean, I have got a whole chapter devoted to the IDI scenario.

The lists may help to jog your memory or give you additional information. Although, you really do know the case like the back of your hand. Out of curiosity, do you refer to books and notes or do you just remember all the facts of the case?

Both, but I keep a file of notes in my desk drawer next to the computer.

I cannot wait to buy your book, so I will start my list now:clap::clap:

Well, here's hoping.

Great long title Ames ! :woohoo:

LOL...Thanks!

 

[Ames]

Not a title, but I did work it in!

LOL...good for you! :clap:

Will I be able to get a copy of the book in the UK? Please reserve one for me if not-signed of course!

Hmm. Hadn't thought about the foreign market. Sure, I'll save one for ya!

 

[cynic]

As far as I'm concerned, Lin Wood, you slimy, ugly, bald unprincipled maggot son-of-a-b***h, you can kiss my a**!

You are clearly holding back.

:crazy:

Yes, I'm being quite generous! Just like I was when I said that Mary Lacy could **** up a cup of coffee.

Folks, I just had a great idea. I was reading a book called "To Be The Man," and throughout the book the writer includes little anecdotes from his friends. I thought that would be a great idea for my book! Since it largely covers the Internet subculture surrounding this case, why include some of it?

Okay, here's the deal: What I would like is for anyone who is interested to submit a little piece of writing about this case that they feel is particularly relevant or fascinating to them. It could be a theory, a piece of evidence and why it's important, how you got interested in this case, whatever you want. If I can work it in, I will. Doesn't matter who you think did it or didn't do it; I'm taking all applications.

Fair warning: not everyone who submits will be accepted (At least not yet). But this is your chance for immortality. A chance to get in on the ground floor of this project.

Think it over and get back to me on this thread.

SD - I swear - you must have ESP. I came here to suggest
exactly what you have mentioned above. There are so many
here that know this case so well, and all the atrocities
done in the investigation. I would love to see them add to your book. I think it would help, if they don't want to use their full name, to use their initials, and what State they are from, so that readers can see how many people are still waiting for justide for JB.
Remember the poster who did the experiment with the panties? I think she had a daughter about JB's age. I wish you could get a statement from her about her experiment.
For myself, I would write about that ridiculous, over dramatized RN.

ESP? Call it fate.

They wouldn't even have to leave their real names with me. I suppose I could use their screennames. States (and countries) is a fine idea.

I wish I could get her statement, too.

Well, if you can think of a good, concise post about the RN (RL in the book), sock it to me!

Check your E-Mail.
I know Cherokee did such a fabulous post about the RN, at FFJ - It would be great if she would let you use it, and then put some comments by others beneath it.

Well, I'll have to wait until she gives me permission.

I think you should check your PMs, Darlene.

It has been sent to the correct E-Mail. I did it in a hurry, but could revise it if necessary.

It's not problem. I got it!

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.

Super - Super Dave, If you are serious about writing and publishing this book, and I believe you are from what I've read on this thread, I think you should realize although the constitution guarentees us Freedom of Speech, it does not give us the right or freedom to libel anyone.
If you have a publisher, they will do a legal review, or vetting of the book. Anything that can bring about a lawsuit or may be borderline, means the book is cancelled. Advance payment then must be returned from the author to the publishing firm.
I think we all remember what happened to Rita Crosby and her book on Anna Nichole. Although I never did find out the full extent. But she's no longer on the air as far as I know.
I read in your into to the book that you consider this book to be your opinion and the truth as you see it. Sorry, Super Dave, but that isn't going bring you a publisher. Anyone can have an opinion about a case. That doesn't make the idea a winner for a publisher.
Have you checked to see what books have been published on this case and who wrote them? Many of them are experts in the field of criminal investigations. They have some credentials behind their writing.
I believe a great book for you to write is one where you show how you went from IDI to RDI. Or an even better idea or slant, IMO, would be to focus on how the Internet, Websleuths exactly, led you from IDI to RDI. I don't think there is a book out there dealing with people studing or solving crimes through extensive internet interaction.
Of course, these are just my suggestions. I don't want to put a wet blanket on your project, I hope your book becomes a reality and you become rich and famous - whichever comes first.

I only have two original JBR case contributions worthy of repeating. The first was about the teabag possibly being used to reduce Patsy's eyelids swelling from crying, since it was in the glass and beside the box of tissues on the table. As for the second, I don't give a rats behind what any IDI believes, my idea that the transfer DNA could possibly have been transfered from any unknown male source who previously had used Patsy's paintbrush. The killer had on gloves, held the paintbrush with both hands and broke it into pieces, thus picking up the unknown male DNA on both of her hands when breaking the paintbrush into pieces. She then transfered it onto the sides of JBR's longjohns when she pulled them back up to complete the staging of redressing the body after the staged molestation to cover up the previous sexual abuse. The unknown male DNA in the blood in JBR's undies obviously came from the paintbrush when it was shoved inside JonBenet causing her to bleed.

There you have it, SD, angelwng's two famously minute contributions in the past 12+ years of obcessively trying to find justice for one very deserving little girl. (Pretty pitiful for all the time I have put into it isn't it??? Use them wherever you may! lol (I would be honored to have anything of mine, no matter how small, contributed.

OH... You need to include in your forward that several of us here at WS spent eons tryng to figure out if you were really ST!!!!!!!! LOL... At last, we all determined that you were just our own personal Super Hero at Websleuths!!!! BTW, does spandex itch???
