The Reality of It All

In 2008, I awoke thinking the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of JFK was fast approaching and we (or I) still didn't know what happened back then. The real story. In particular, how did Jack Ruby walk into a Dallas police station and shoot Lee Harvey Oswald in front of everyone? Who was he? And what was that murder really about?It ignited something in me that turned into a burning desire to learn the truth and expose it. I am a writer and so I started digging into the extensive-and sometimes conflicting-research on that period and spent several years piecing it together. Then I picked up a pen.The result was an off-Broadway play titled "Witnessed by the World," which I wrote with my good friend and co-writer Jane Beale, and a few years after that (and nearly three hundred pageslater) this book, "Cover Story: Still Deadly after All These Years."If you enjoyed what you've read, you may also enjoy the next book in the series, "Blood in the Street." That story tells the tale of Sirhan Sirhan, now-dubbed America's first Arab terrorist, and a small, committed legal team's effort to get him released from prison. Was he really just a disgruntled Palestinian who took out his frustration on the likely next president of America? Or was the murder of Robert Kennedy a necessary step by the forces that brought down his brother? Think about it: How could they allow Bobby to ascend to office when he swore he'd get to the bottom of JFK's murder?
