FEATURED AUTHORS:
Diane Fanning is the Edgar award nominated author of several true crime books for St. Martin’s Press. She will discuss her newly released book Under the Knife, which is about a beautiful, successful woman named Maria Cruz who went to “Doctor” Faiello for a relatively simple cosmetic procedure…and succumbed to a fatal complication while under his care. Faiello buried her corpse beneath a concrete slab at his Newark, New Jersey home—and went on the run. It was only after Cruz’s body was found that the true callousness of Faiello’s brutal crime would be dissected.
Retired pathologist, author, and breast cancer survivor, Deborah Douglas, M.D., walked 600 miles in 10 Breast Cancer 3-Day events to interview cancer survivors and co-survivors. The collected stories not only emphasize the complexity of diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, but—due in large part to the emotional honesty of the contributors—challenge the popular mantras that a positive attitude is the only healthy way to cope with the disease and that cancer is an unequivocal gift.
Attorney Joan M. Cheever is an award-winning legal affairs journalist and a former managing editor of The National Law Journal. Back From The Dead is the story of 589 former death row inmates who, through a lottery of fate, were given a second chance at life in 1972 when the death penalty was abolished; it returned to the United States four years later. In the book, Cheever describes her own journey and reveals these tales of second chances: of tragedy and failure, racism and injustice, and redemption and rehabilitation.
