Late Update

Today, we uploaded the cover and text of Cory Maye to our digital print house.

We await the proof copy, the better to find most of the mistakes the last editing process missed.

So, probably 3 weeks out on the availability of print copies! With almost all the misteaks corrected. You never catch them all.

In other news, even without publicity, 3 copies of the Kindle version have sold! How exciting.

Now, it's time for bed on the Left Coast.

Cory Maye Kindle Edition Now Available!

The second book in the Skeptical Juror series, The Skeptical Juror and the Trial of Cory Maye, is now available for Kindle.

The print edition will be to the digital print house in a day or so, and after checking the proof, we'll release it for publication. So look for that version in about 2 weeks.

Cory Maye is the story of a young man in Mississippi who shot and killed a police officer who entered his home. The circumstances are tragic, and there is no denying that Maye shot the officer.  Maye was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death.

But did he know the intruder he was shooting at was a police officer? Or did he think it was a burglar or other criminal? He says he was protecting his young daughter, who was asleep in the house.

Now, The Skeptical Juror has uncovered facts in the court and police documents that throw some doubt onto the conclusions of the prosecution.  Cory has gotten a new trial, but is still incarcerated.

This new book in the series tells a dramatic story, and raises some shocking questions.

A Flying Update for Our Blog Readers

All three of you. 

TSJ has finished the writing of The Skeptical Juror and the Trial of Cory Maye.  And I, in turn, have finished the first copy and style edit of the manuscript, and returned it to the author with a few brief suggestions for some relatively minor additions.

I think we must be getting the hang of this author/publisher stuff. For the first time, a substantive review has not resulted in suggestions that result in major rewrites. 

The book is turning out well. It's a national story, with a subject who is coming up before the Mississippi Supreme Court this fall.  And it's told, this time, in a more entertaining and readable, and yet scientifically compelling way, than the Byron Case book. 

We'll be publishing, I hope early next week, on Kindle, then on to paper publishing soon thereafter.
