Obsessed with True Crime discussion

Hi All,

My name is Lae. I'm a writer who specializes in psychological crime fiction.
I have a blog, just started, that focuses on true crime.
To make it more interesting to other writers, I have decided to interview other (true) crime authors.
Would you be interested in being interviewed or maybe even write a post on my blog if you wish (as long as it is on true crime or connected to crime)?
I would also be interested in interviewer readers of true crime, find out what hooks them to the genre, what they get out of it and what keeps them coming back.
You can find me on facebook and twitter if you want to check me out first.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I would say I am an exclusive true crime reader. Very little else interests me. I am a quiet, 51 year old woman now who has been reading true crime since I was probably 12 yrs old. The book I remember reading in its entirety first was Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliousi and I was absolutely fascinated. I love Ann Rule and have read all her books including her latest In the Still of the Night. A great author will cover the principle characters, the environment, a little history of the victims/killers, offer a little psychological detail, trial and outcome. When I read Ann Rule I get transported to the city where the story takes place, I have a distinct idea of who the victim is as well as the killer but she still manages to throw in a few surprises you're not expecting. Nothing better than a great book!!!

Dear Janet,

Thank you for taking the time to post a comment.

I find your story truly fascinated and would love to discuss further.

Would you be interested in doing an interview or even writing your own post about reading true crime to publish on my blog?

I look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,

PS Would it be ok to use your comment on my blog (not sure I will, but I might)

Hi Lae -

I've been an avid fan of true crime and history for decades. So when I discovered that one of my ancestors was the victim in an infamous and closely followed 1882 crime, I decided to write a book about it. Spent years researching and writing and now have a publisher - book to be released in early 2013. It was a fascinating crime. You couldn't dream up a story with as many twists, turns and shocking surprises. I had no idea the crime was so closely followed by the public, the press, and the legal and medical communities. Suspects were tried and acquitted and the mystery on who did it continued to capture imaginations for decades. I set out to solve it and present my theory in the conclusion of my book. I would love to be interviewed, but after I get all the final materials back to the publisher. That would be after Jan 15. Can I e-mail you then? Is your website Laeland? I've looked at that one.

Absolutely. Please, drop me a line when you're ready and I'll be happy to have a chat. :D
Have a great end of the year.
