Sometimes Fathers Have the Best Stories

The first book I wrote that really launched me into publishing and being a serious author was Pro Bono, which is the true story of my father and grandfathers' involvement in the Caril Fugate case.  It took me many years to get around to doing this, and by that time, many of the people involved had passed on, including my grandfather; whom I never appreciated fully while he was alive.  In researching and writing the story, he became a bit of a hero of mine, and it's hard to imagine that I had known this man.

Luckily, my own father had remembered a lot about him, even small details.  He and my grandfather both worked hard at getting Caril Fugate out of jail, a girl/woman they believed firmly was innocent.  My father has since then gone on to provide me with the inspiration and basis of two more non-fiction books, The Great Heist and Two Gun Hart; both of which originated from comments his father told him.

Lesson, listen to your dads.
