Your new book, I Will Ruin You: The Twisted Truth Behind the Kit Martin Murder Trial is based on a true story. What was it that interested you in writing a book about it?
I sincerely believe an innocent man is serving a life sentence for crimes he did not commit. My goal is to lay out the evidence and let the reader decide for themselves, but I also want to hold the people
responsible for this miscarriage of justice accountable.
Can you give us a book blurb so others can find out what your book is about?
Did the state of Kentucky convict an innocent man? Did prosecutors and the lead detective use deception and false testimony to secure a conviction? It's all here—the same evidence, the same testimony. Decide for yourself.
Can you give us a brief description of Kit Martin?
Kit is a former army ranger and attack helicopter pilot who served three tours of duty in Iraq. Despite having to endure a court-martial based on a web of lies and stand trial where the prosecution resorted to false testimony and deception, he has maintained a level of calmness that few could emulate.
Do you plan on writing more books in the true crime genre?
I'm not a true crime writer. I write true stories about real people. I'd like to be like author Michael Lewis. He writes books about stories that interest him, and none of his books have anything in common with his previous books. Who could have thought that you could write a best seller about baseball statistics or Wall Street short sellers?
Where can readers buy your book?
I Will Ruin You is available wherever fine books are sold
What is next for you?
One of my earlier books is being turned into a miniseries. I'm hoping the writer/producer gets a greenlight on the series. If so, I will be a technical expert on the series.
