Calling all vict!m advocates!

We will begin selling our true crime book Sins of the South Book in book boxes soon, where we will include stickers and bookmarks and a lot of other merch. But one thing that we really wanted to was something to help out other advocates. Because this is a true crime book with 3 cold cases from Oklahoma, we thought it would be really helpful to include case profile post cards in the boxes as well.

We want everyone who orders one of our bookboxes to feel like they just walked away from our table at crime con. This is why we want to include bookish and true crime merch as well as advocate while we're at it. We have enough room in each book box to include one postcard each ( Up to 4 or 5 different cards per box.)

If you already have some cards like these drawn up and you would like to send a stack of them, We would love to include them. (See example below, currently including Oklahoma Cold Cases Birdie Doe cards.) We can do full-sized flyers, but we prefer to have the halfsize cards like the 4 by 6 or 5 by 7 just so they fit nicely into the book box. We only need 10-20 to start.

And also if we go to any events or do any books signings, we will take all of the cards that we get with us and they will sit on the table in front of us for people to freely grab. Cases do not need to be from Oklahoma, but we do prefer to include southern cases since our podcast is a southern focused show.

If this sounds like something that you would like to include your loved one's case profile cards in please message me or email [email protected] for an address that you can send these to. Book boxes will be sold online out to around the country, most in the southern states. We feel like this is a great unique way to get your cases circulating.

Y'all... 👀🫶🏽

"Over the years, I’ve been asked if ‘The Perfect Marriage’ would ever be available in hardcover, to which I replied, “No, because that’s not how publishing works.”

Well, it turns out I was wrong. 🥳 With the rights to my debut reverting back to me, I was able to take this to a new publisher and give this book everything it deserved in the first place and so much more. It received a full edit (as Scott suggested), and it now has all the bells and whistles to go along with its revamped content. I want to note that I stayed as true to the story as possible, but there are some small details that had to be changed while cleaning it up during the editorial process to ensure accuracy, a better reading experienced, and a more streamlined story.

The collector’s edition features a new cover, blood dripping sprayed edges, gorgeous endpapers, a bonus chapter complete with courtroom drawings, and a sneak peek of the first three chapters of its sequel ‘The Perfect Divorce’ (coming spring 2025). Check out close up pics of some of the details in the comments. It releases 11/26, just in time for the holidays, and I think it would make a, dare I say, perfect gift. 😏 Preorder is available now wherever the books are sold.

What makes this collector’s edition truly special to me is it symbolizes the closing of a terrible chapter that I’ve dealt with behind the scenes for the past three and a half years and the opening of a brand new chapter. Thank you all so much for your endless support! 🥹❤️

For those asking which online listings are up to preorder from, below are the link I have. You can also preorder directly from your local bookstore."

Black Bear Alibi - Book 1 in the Rockfish Island Mystery Series
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 5 STARS

When a park ranger stumbles upon a black bear with a red-stained nose, he soon discovers the source: blood, leading to a body. The new Sheriff in town, eager to prove herself, teams up with the ranger. Together, they navigate the crime scene, interview witnesses, and track down suspects.

This was a delightful read that I could absolutely recommend to any reader 12 or over. Lighthearted murder mystery with wonderful characters I definitely need more from. Thank goodness there are 4 with a 5th book on the way!

It was very theatrically written, often finding myself watching the seamless nuanced scenes play out in my mind. Some twists. Some turns. Some Red Harrings. A beautiful backdrop. Extremely loveable and well fleshed out characters. Palpable scenes. Pondering moments. What an absolutely wonderful read! Bravo!

We have an upcoming interview with author Sagit Schwartz in October, so now is your chance to get the book on sale!

An emotionally charged, dual-timeline suspense set between LA and NYC, this debut novel is perfect for fans of The Last Thing He Told Me and Luckiest Girl Alive.

A clinical psychologist is thrown into her dark past as she races to uncover the truth about her mother's death while struggling with her own mental health.

Can we ever truly know the people we love?

Losing her mother to a hit-and-run at age 15 threw Beatrice “Beans” Bennett’s life into turmoil. Bereft, she developed a life-threatening eating disorder, and went through a challenging recovery process which paved the way for her work as a clinical psychologist decades later.

When a new patient arrives at her office and insists that Beans’s mother is still alive—and in danger—Beans is forced to revisit her past in order to uncover the truth. She learns the “patient” is a member of a notorious family that owns a drug company largely responsible for the national opioid epidemic, and that her mother was once tangled in their web. In a race against time—and her mother’s assailants—while once again facing the disorder she thought she’d put behind her, Beans discovers that, like herself, her mother had a devastating secret.

With its fast-moving, edge-of-your-seat action and intimate look at mental health, Since She’s Been Gone will keep readers in its grasp long after the last page.

P.S. Our girl J. L. Hyde made her trad debut with a blurb from this novel on the back!

Many in Oklahoma may not be aware, but The Oklahoma House of Representatives in April 2024 passed a bill to eliminate the statute of limitations for r**e in certain situations.

Senate Bill 1658 from Sen. Jessica Garvin, R-Duncan, and House Majority Floor Leader Jon Echols, R-Oklahoma City, eliminates the statute of limitations for r**e when DNA evidence emerges or when a suspect confesses to the crime. The current statute of limitations for r**e when the victim is age 18 or older was 12 years... if you have DNA now, you shouldn't have to worry about losing the ability to prosecute. If, after 25 years, your ra**st confesses to Law Enforcement, the limitation is also lifted.

Welcome to Oklahoma's House of Representatives website!

Habeas Corpus: This Latin term means “you shall have the body.” It’s a fundamental legal principle that protects individuals from unlawful detention. On Independence Day, we celebrate freedom, and habeas corpus ensures that no one is unjustly imprisoned without due process.

Presumption of Innocence: In criminal law, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This concept reflects the idea of fairness and justice. Just as our forefathers fought for freedom, we uphold the presumption of innocence as a cornerstone of our legal system.

Due Process: Independence Day reminds us of the importance of due process. It guarantees that individuals accused of crimes have the right to a fair trial, legal representation, and the opportunity to present evidence. Without due process, justice would be compromised.

Equal Protection Under the Law: The Constitution ensures equal protection for all citizens. Independence Day celebrates the idea that everyone—regardless of race, gender, or background—deserves equal treatment and access to justice.

Happy Independence Day!
