I applaud anyone who keeps a journal -whether its handwritten or typed. I’m pretty good at blogging every day, and have tried keeping a handwritten journal but I always fail. I think we tend to be more truthful when it’s pen to paper, so I expect that Ashly Lorenzana handwrote much of her true confessions – scattered journal entries she’s now published on Kindle as Sex, Drugs, & Being an Escort.

For years, I was a true crime buff. I still possess more useless knowledge about some of America’s infamous serial killers than I care to admit to. Give me a good “true” ghost story or A&E/ Travel Channel historical haunting feature or reality ghost hunting show and I’m glued to the television for hours. So, when Curt Rowlett approached us with his three books devoted to mysteries, murder, and the occult, I immediately wanted to read all of them!

Well, here it is folks. Few people answered our call, so we were forced to search Lulu for America on our own. In celebration of our independence as a nation, as a people, as authors, the Lulu Book Review was in search of that one Lulu book that embodies America and its freedoms.

Many many years ago while living at home and in grade school, going with my parents to buy groceries on a Friday evening was a regular ritual. The last thing added to the shopping cart before we checked out was a copy of The National Enquirer. Amongst the celebrity gossip and tabloids, there were always one page stories with black and white sketches about “real life” survival: people being attacked by sharks or bears, being held captive by robbers or murderers, and stories of people being stranded in the harsh desert or cold frigid arctic.
