Although I write crime fiction, it is true crime that I love reading. Anne Rule is one of my fave True Crime authors.
That said, I'm really looking forward to reading Kelly Moran's book YOU NEVER HAVE TO REMEMBER THE TRUTH --a true crime story about the Bembenek case.
I remember "Bambi" escaping from prison and ending up in Canada and the media hoopla surrounding the events. A new view on this old case, sounds very enticing...
Take it away, Kelly....

Thanks for having me today, Eileen. It's a pleasure. I'll
give away one free eBook to a commenter.
I typically write romance and children's books, so writing a
true crime memoir was out of the norm for me, but an opportunity I couldn't
pass up. See, this happened in my city. I was four when the murder occurred,
five when Bembenek was found guilty, and thirteen when Gugliatto helped
Bembenek escape prison. I remembered a lot, especially the craziness
surrounding the case. It's still going on to this day, not just in Wisconsin, but across the States and Canada.
Though I enjoyed getting involved in this and learned a lot,
rest assured I'll stick to my imaginary friends from now on. Now, here's a bit
about the book...
BLURB:
It was one of the most sensational murder cases in U.S.
history. Lawrencia "Bambi" Bembenek, a former Playboy waitress and
ex-Milwaukee police officer, was arguably railroaded and convicted of murder.
When all hope of proving her innocence seemed lost, she planned a daring escape
from prison with her boyfriend, and together the lovers slipped into Canada under
assumed names. Now, nearly twenty years after the escape, Dominic Gugliatto
wants to set the record straight. The man who laid it all on the line tells a
different tale — one of deception and betrayal. For the first time, Gugliatto
speaks out about the lies and secrets long buried. That Bembenek knew more
about the murder than she professed, and that the prison escape involved
co-conspirators, including a retired Milwaukee
police officer. The truth is coming, told by the only man who knows it all.
