I will be participating in the Book Blog Tour at Pump Up Your Books for Dead Reckoning by Caitlin Rother, a story seen on Dateling, 48 Hours and 20/20, in March 2011.
DEAD RECKONING -- The authoritative story behind the high-profile murder of Tom and Jackie Hawks by a clan of outlaws led by Skylar and Jennifer Deleon. Skylar Deleon, a charming conman and hermaphrodite wanna-be, tied the Hawkses to the anchor of their yacht and threw them overboard -- alive -- near Newport Beach, California, to steal their boat and pillage their bank accounts. (Kensington/Pinnacle, February 2011)
Caitlin Rother will be touring March 1 – 11 with her true crime novel, Dead Reckoning. Happy and retired, Tom and Jackie Hawks lived a charmed life in sunny Southern California. They were delighted when former child star Skylar Deleon and his pregnant wife Jennifer offered cash to purchase their 55-ft yacht The Well Deserved. But a trial voyage turned into a nightmare. Out at sea, the Hawkses begged for their lives as they were forced to sign everything over to Skylar. In return, they were tied to the ship’s anchor and thrown overboard – alive…Skylar and Jennifer’s twisted story became even more shocking when Skylar’s unusual sexual motivations were revealed in court. After killing a man while out of jail on work furlough, he hired hits from prison on four witnesses, including his father…For this former child actor, the answer to “where are they now?” is Death Row.
Sounds a complicated plot--definitely interesting.
