First Lady Of Murder: Ann Rule's Life, Legacy, and the Serial Killer She Called Friend' (Amazon Pre-Order)

First Lady Of Murder: Ann Rule's Life, Legacy, and the Serial Killer She Called Friend' Author Cathy Scott (Los Angeles Times and New York Times Best Selling Author), featuring Joey Huertas. 

Ann Rule became America’s queen of true crime by doing what few writers could: stepping past headlines, police reports, and courtroom drama to ask the deeper question. Why? In First Lady of Murder, acclaimed true crime author Cathy Scott turns that same investigative eye on Rule herself, revealing the complicated, driven, fiercely human woman behind The Stranger Beside Me, Small Sacrifices, and a body of work that changed crime writing forever. Drawing on years of research, interviews, and Scott’s own friendship with Rule, this deeply reported biography traces Ann’s journey from a sheriff’s granddaughter and would-be police officer to one of the most influential crime writers of her time. But this is more than the story of a literary career. It is the story of ambition, loyalty, rivalry, heartbreak, reinvention, and the personal cost of building a public identity around the darkest acts human beings can commit. Rich with new detail and hard-won insight, First Lady of Murder offers the most intimate portrait yet of a woman millions of readers thought they knew. They did not know the whole story. Until now.

CONVERGE: Live 2026 & at Berkley College of Music

                                

I shot this CONVERGE 2026 show (link below) using my old iPHONE13. Brought back so many fond memories of me playing all-ages NYC day shows at CBGB's and also so many gigs at the infamous Kingshead Inn (Norfolk, Va). So many ppl would think that this level of intense hardcore music, in which the lyrics & vocals are indiscernable, comes from dumb kids...the reverse is the truth. All four members are literally brilliant, all are DIY innovators of their own recording equipment and home studio gear ( i.e. God City Studio, GCI God City Instruments, Jammer humbucker guitar pickups, The Brutalist Jr. PCB distrotion pedal, Deathwish Inc. indie record label, Atomic! ID art & design company)   and one member is even a certified bio-engineer. I was introduced to CONVERGE back when their landmark album JANE DOE was released, and indeed that record remains a masterpiece of this genre of punk hardcore music. I loved shooting every second of this show the other night, these guys are now in their early 50's! Crazy how time flies! SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC!  bye and enjoy ...  

Happy Easter 2026.

Mark Harmon and Richard 'Dick' Larsen (r.i.p.)

Meeting with actor Mark Harmon, in which we discussed our mutual friendship with award-winning political reporter and columnist journalist Richard 'Dick' Larsen, who was a major contributor to the Seattle Times. Larsen also wrote the book 'The Deliberate Stranger' which starred Mark Harmon as a made-for-tv movie back in the 80's. Larsen had been a frequent writer about the political campaign antics for Governor of Seattle, he knew Bundy well as Bundy had worked on the Republican campaign in Seattle, and Larsen ultimately served as consultant to Mark during shooting of the movie (Mark declined to meet with Bundy on death row). Mark's a great and solid guy, and remains married to actress Pam Dawber (Mork and Mindy) since 1987!

r.i.p. Robert 'Bobby' Carradine

I met Robert Carradine a few years ago. We clicked instantly, as he also was a passionate musician. As a kid,  'Revenge of the Nerds' was a staple in my life as a movie-lover. Bobby was such a pure and kind person- always giving direct eye contact and full absolute attention in conversations about everything and anything. I have met many people in my life and dual careers, and Bobby is on my top 5 favorite people ever. He was such a sweet, sweet soul. Today is a sad day and tragic day for all that knew and loved, Bobby.

Radio call show discussion on C.D. vs. Vinyl formats...

The pro-vinyl argument rests on several claims that passionate defenders make: The “warmth” argument: Vinyl advocates often describe analog sound as warmer, richer, or more natural than digital. They argue that because vinyl captures the continuous waveform of sound rather than sampling it (like CDs do at 44.1kHz), you’re hearing something closer to the original performance. The analog process supposedly preserves subtle harmonics and textures that get lost in digital conversion. The “loudness wars” critique: Many vinyl defenders point out that CD-era mastering often compressed dynamic range to make songs louder, losing the peaks and valleys that make music breathe. Vinyl has physical limitations that prevent extreme loudness, so mastering engineers often create versions with more dynamic range for vinyl releases. The tactile and ritual experience: For many, this is actually the core appeal - the physicality of handling large album art, the ritual of cleaning records and lowering the needle, the active listening it encourages. It’s about engagement rather than just audio fidelity. The “complete package” philosophy: Vinyl is associated with experiencing albums as cohesive artistic statements rather than cherry-picking tracks, which some argue was the artist’s intent. Of course, opponents counter that: CDs have objectively superior specifications (wider frequency response, no surface noise, no degradation over plays), the “warmth” is actually pleasant distortion, and modern high-resolution digital formats surpass anything analog can do. But vinyl enthusiasts often acknowledge this - for them, the “imperfections” and experience are features, not bugs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ bye.

He is a dead ringer identical twin to my cousin Frankie, and his music marks the best times of my childhood and the beginning stages for me becoming an artist. I can't wait to see him perform live in 2026, and also support him as his daughter fights her terminal cancer battle. Love you, John...you're temper and all. bye.
