Which author would you love to have dinner with?

[ Which Author? ]

[ The Only Author Would Be Ann Rule ]

[ You Met Her In 1994 @ A Book Signing ]

[ She Wrote About Murder & Serial Killers ]

[ You Think You Have Most Of Her Books ]

[ You Even Have (2) When She Wrote Under The Name “Andy Stack” ]

[ She Wrote Under A Man’s Name For Awhile Because Female Writer’s Of That Genre Were Not Taken Seriously Before The (1980’s) ]

[ Through Reading Her Books You Were Able To Tell Who Was Standing Right Next To You When A Teammate On Your Powerlifting Team Took You On A Personal Tour Of “The Oregon State Penitentiary”, Because He Was The Head Rec Staff There ]

[ You Were In His Office When This Older, Heavy Set Man Came In To Talk With Him. He Stood Right Next To You While He Talked ]

[ When He Left, Your Teammate Smiled Like He Was Going To Try To Catch You Off Guard. He Asked You, “Do You Know Who That Was?” ]

[ Without Hesitation You Said, “Ya, That Was Jerome Brudos” ]

[ He Seemed Kind Of Surprised, Then Asked, “How Did You Know That?” ]

[ You Laughed & Said, “I Read A Book About Him & Remembered His Picture” ]

[ You Both Had A Good Laugh About It ]

[ But When You Got Home, A Chill Went Down Your Spine Because You Were Standing Next To One Of Oregon’s More Notorious Serial Killer’s. Not Because Of The Number Of Female Victims He Accumulated It Was Because Of The Sheer Brutality In Which He Did His Crimes ]

[ But When Ann Rule Signed Your Book You Were Able To Talk With Her About Another Book She Wrote. That Particular Serial Killer Murdered A Female Classmate Of Yours Your Senior Year In High School ]

[ Ann Rule’s Memory Was Incredible Recalling The Facts Around That Victim ]

[ You Found Ann Rule Really Fascinating & Would Have Loved To Have Picked Her Brain About Any Other Serial Killer She Wrote About ]

[ One Of Them Would Have Been “Ted Bundy” ]
