The Missing Evidence - New Ripper Documentary

[Tom_Wescott]

I'm not saying they aren't similar, my title was pre Edwards purchasing the shawl, ergo mine came first.

You believe wrong, I never made such a statement.

I'm just perplexed as to why you've made such an obscure comment.

Monty

Just for sake of accuracy, Edwards' book was titled 'Hunting Jack the Ripper' before the 'conclusive' DNA find changed things, including the title and marketing. Jack the Riper Decoded appears to be the paperback edition scheduled for summer. At least the last time I looked.

I hope my eventual publisher doesn't settle on 'Crossing Jack the Ripper', or even 'Leching Jack the Ripper'.
Then it might be offered as part of a three book deal.

Those are very good figures, Tom, and traditional publishers certainly aren't laughing at self-publishing. I haven't taken that route yet. Trevor has, but I doubt he's laughing, his offerings having received some of the worst reviews for a Ripper book that I've seen on Amazon.

Can't you put the other book on the back burner and get on with your Le Grand book?

Reviews make or break. I didn't appreciate that as much until I published. But it's true. I think Uncle Jack might have Trevor beat for most bad reviews, but I haven't looked at those books in a while.

As for Le Grand, I want to put out a book looking in depth at the murders and investigation first. The idea being that I can then encapsulate all that stuff in the Le Grand book and refer readers to my earlier works if they want more info on that. Also because readers who don't give a hoot about Le Grand don't have to buy a book about him to get my general take on the murders. More and more readers are turning away from suspect books, although I hope that after two books I'll have enough credibility with readers that they'll take a look.

Following my three Ripper books (the word 'trilogy' has been ruined by Hollywood) I might try my hand with doing a co-authored book. Maybe I'll even co-author a book with Trevor, but that all depends upon whether or not Simon is available to write Trevor's half.

Throughout all this I'm going to force myself to get some fiction writing out there.

Yours truly,

Maybe was just something like this:

If you plan on going with a publisher your book won't be out for two or three years. And it will be in precious few book stores, if any. Just an FYI.

These change all the time. My book's been coupled with Monty's, Edwards', even Covell's Annie Chapman book once. Earlier in the year it was Forgotten Victim. Also a few Ripper-related fiction works.

Just echo what some others have said, I'm looking forward to seeing the doco.

As for book titles: "What The Bucks Going On?"

Indeed Tom,

Its something I have no control over, however its being portrayed as such.

Just found it an out of the blue comment really, well, whatever, nevermind.

Aggro? Not at all. I wrote my book in Word. Createspace tells you how to get it right for paperback. I then paid a guy $40 to set it up for Kindle and paid another guy $120 to do the cover. That's pretty much all my out of pocket expense to get it published.

Yeah, Tom, but what about the limousines, makeover and new wardrobe for doing the rounds of all the talk shows, and the personal bodyguards?

Bet that cost you a pretty penny.

It was a mild joke that didn't contain any suggestion that you had any involvement.

[Abby Normal]

Hi lech
How about simply "The Carman"

Simple, mysterious , to the point

Up to this point I've kept my media marketing to podcasts. I have a great face for radio.
