Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When does an enjoyment of varied interests become a double life? That is a question pertinent to the tragic and strange tale of Roseann Quinn. Many will be familiar with this name, even though her death dates back three and a half decades. That is because the case of Roseann Quinn is the one behind the well known 1977 film, 'Looking for Mr Goodbar', which starred Diane Keaton. It is also the inspiration for Judith Rossner's slightly less well known but still best selling novel of the same name, and the account by the New York Times journalist, Lacey Fosburgh (called 'Closing Time: The True Story of the Goodbar Murder.') Sometimes, it can be tricky to understand why some crimes make their way to the eye of popular culture and other, equally tragic, events fail to do so. Although, of course, every death is a tragedy for someone. But in the case of Roseann, the answer is clear to see.

Book excerpt: A collection of True Crime in the porn industrySuch scripts as existed for sleazy flicks such as Debbie Does Dallas were threadbare. Often, they consisted of little more than a hint of dialogue to be improvised in whatever location had been hi-jacked for filming - this was still a time when obscenity laws could see an entire cast and crew apprehended, arrested and tried for acts committed in the face of public decency. It was best not to advertise your whereabouts.For some of the industry's actors and actresses performance was a means to an end. For others, an unfortunate hole into which they fell, headfirst and out of full control. Debbie, the eponymous character of the film, was played by an attractive young star in the making called Bambi Woods. In fact, she wasn't called Bambi Woods; anybody aware of this lady's real name refuses to reveal it and while there is much speculation online, the validity of any claim is open to considerable question.For the purposes of this piece, the name Bambi Woods will need to suffice. Her real name may have been, or maybe still is, Debra DeSanto. Equally it might be Barbara Woodson. The uncertainty around the words in this article so far can be excused. Because, in the mid-1980s, it may have been the case that Bambi died, in lurid circumstances, in a drug and sex fueled orgy of excess. Or, perhaps she did not. Although widely reported, her death has never been confirmed. Certainly, plenty of those who claim to know the real person behind the character are confident that she is still alive.

Book excerpt: Baseball during the Great Depression of the 1930s galvanized communities and provided a struggling country with heroes. Jewish player Hank Greenberg gave the people of Detroit—and America—a reason to be proud. But America was facing more than economic hardship. Hitler’s agenda heightened the persecution of Jews abroad while anti-Semitism intensified political and social tensions in the U.S. The six-foot-four-inch Greenberg, the nation’s most prominent Jew, became not only an iconic ball player, but also an important and sometimes controversial symbol of Jewish identity and the American immigrant experience. Throughout his twelve-year baseball career and four years of military service, he heard cheers wherever he went along with anti-Semitic taunts. The abuse drove him to legendary feats that put him in the company of the greatest sluggers of the day, including Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, and Lou Gehrig. Hank’s iconic status made his personal dilemmas with religion versus team and ambition versus duty national debates. Hank Greenberg is an intimate account of his life—a story of integrity and triumph over adversity and a portrait of one of the greatest baseball players and most important Jews of the twentieth century.
