Pages : 252
Book Description
Bound to Die is the true crime story of Florida serial killer Bobby Joe Long, who was convicted of the heinous killings of nine women in 1984 in the Tampa Bay area. The first body of 19-year-old disco dancer Lana Long was found in a field on Mother's Day with her legs grotesquely ripped apart. Six months later, the bloody rampage ended when the ninth victim was discovered. All had been tortured with ropes and savagely beaten and raped. The killer's confession of his crimes is haunting. The vividly rendered results of his trials and appeals are equally shocking. First published by Kensington, NY in 1995, Bound to Die was internationally recognized. It received seven mass media printings and was issued in hardback as a Doubleday Mystery Guild Book Club selection. This second edition features a new foreword on a capital case which is still considered a definitive example of excellent police detection before DNA. Multiple television presentations have been made based on this book, some including the author's participation. Shortly after first publication, a documentary based on the case was shown on Medical Detective that aired sporadically for years. In 2012, this story became the pilot for the new show Killer Profile on the Biography Channel. The Second Edition of BOUND TO DIE (Kensington, NY 1993) was released on Nov. 24th in ebook form, and the author Anna Flowes, was at the Authors Book Fair in Eau Galle on that day to talk about it. It is available on Sony, Gardners, Baker & Taylor, Google Play, iTunes, Kobo, Nook, Amazon, OmniLit, e-Sentral and the Book Hub website. The book contains a new 5,000 word updated Foreword about the case of serial killer Bobby Joe Long, and it will be available later in trade and mass media print. The original Kensington book received seven mass media printings, and was a Mystery Guild Book Club selection in hardback. Last year the author participated in two television documentaries on the case, which are being aired on A&E, Discovery and Biography channels. The first was the pilot show of "Killer Profile," the second was a production called "Surviving Evil." A third documentary, "Common Thread," which was a segment on Medical Detective after the initial release of BOUND TO DIE, is also being reshown. Sept. 21, 2012 author participated in film interview in Tampa for an A&E Documentary to be aired early next year. June 1, 2012, Tampa, FL - Author participated in a two-hour on-camera interview for a new A&E television show, Killer Profile, which will feature the case of serial killer Bobby Joe Long, the subject of Flowers' best selling true crime book BOUND TO DIE. There is renewed interest in this case and the Killer Profile pilot show will air in the Fall of 2012. Author Flowers is also working on an Afterword for a new edition of the book. The case of Tampa Bay serial killer, Bobby Joe Long, is a classic in task force team work and forensic detection. A Doubleday Mystery Guild Book Club selection, it is a Medical Detective segment. "Common Thread," seen on TLC and Discovery TV channels. This second edition is published by Blue Star Books of Santa Cruz, California for 2014. Just in time, don't miss the UK broadcast during October/November of the recent interview of Anna Flowers to cover the ongoing case, the appeal process, and the eventual execution of Bobby Joe Long.

Book Description
Zofia Trickenbod is a sorceress from another planet living here on modern day Earth (which leads to a lot of lying). She's trying to keep the Stone of Irdisi (the most powerful magical implement from her world, which she is the current keeper), out of the hands of the ex-Dark Lord Vesselvod Blood's grasp, risking life and better judgment in order to do so. Blood wants the Stone so as to become all-powerful again (what's up with these dark lords anyway?). For the past five years, Dorian, her husband has been thought to be dead. So when he returns as an "undead" Zofia is a bit miffed (more than mildly), at him for not getting word to her so that she wouldn't try and make a new life for herself on this strange planet where she and her off-spring can't practice magic in the open (and where a nosy neighbor calls in the police if she so much as sneezes). But after a while she gets used to Dorian being a vampire. In fact, he's quite good at it, along with being something of a scoundrel. But he needs his powers back, which means he has to become human again. Zofia and her Aunt Tillie team up to find a spell and potion that can return him back to the living. But before they can give it to him, he becomes a prime suspect in a murder investigation, and is put in jail. Her cop boyfriend (yes, her life is just full of crazy events), Richard, finds it difficult to accept that Zofia's husband just happened to return after she'd told him he was dead. So, when Dorian disappears from his jail, Richard is determined to find him and stalks Zofia, and searches her house. Not to forget our mythical creature, the black unicorn, which is spotted early on-a warning that Blood is in the vicinity, as the creature goes where he goes, hoping to get his white coat back. This causes alarm in the family. Meanwhile, the unicorn becomes infatuated with Zofia's 16-year old daughter, Blanche. When nosy neighbor, Lolly, spots the animal, it's just another excuse for her to call the police. Did I mention the men in Zofia's life? The list is as follows: her husband, Dorian who is now vampire puts the moves on her; Richard, cop and now ex-boyfriend who makes things complicated; an amorous demon, Erebus, who wants something in return for her son's soul (bet you can't guess what), and the part-god/wizard, Stephen, who has the hots for her, and she resists the best she can. A light fantasy with adult themes that might remind one of the TV show Bewitched, but it has it's own brand of humor, spell casting and adventure.
