Click on the cover images above and immediately begin reading one of these exclusive e-books from M. William Phelps. You won’t find them in print! DANCE WITH THE DEVIL details episode 8 of Phelps’s TV series DARK MINDS, and picks up where his 2008 book, “I’ll Be Watching You,” leaves off. THE EASTBOUND STRANGLER focuses on episode 2, the Atlantic City murders of four women found in a ditch, fully clothed, without shoes or socks, their heads allegedly facing east. And THE DEAD SOUL, Phelps’s first psychological/suspense thriller, a book he has spent four years working on. THE DEAD SOUL features Boston PD Detective Jake “Sundance” Cooper on the hunt for a vicious serial killer dubbed “The Optimist.” Phelps pulls from his decades’ worth of experience writing about and corresponding with serial killers to pen the ultimate, pulse-pounding, ticking-clock thriller. Get it now for a low, bargain rate before it goes back to its regular price! For more info on each e-book, click on the links.

SERIAL KILLER EXPERT, star of the hit Investigation Discovery series DARK MINDS and acclaimed investigative journalist M. William Phelps is the national bestselling, award-winning author of 21 nonfiction books. Winner of 2008 New England Book Festival Award for “I’ll Be Watching You,” Phelps has made over 100 television appearances, including CBS’s “Early Show,” “The Today Show,” “The View,” “Fox & Friends,” truTV, Discovery Channel, Fox News Channel, ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Learning Channel, Biography Channel, History Channel, Oxygen, OWN, and others. He’s been on USA Radio Network, Catholic Radio, Mancow, Wall Street Journal Radio, Zac Daniel, Ava Maria Radio, ABC News Radio, and Radio America, who calls him “the nation’s leading authority on the mind of the female murderer.” He’s written for numerous publications and consulted on the first season of the hit Showtime cable television series “Dexter.”

Created by Phelps, the concept for the TV series DARK MINDS (Wednesday nights at 10:00PM on Investigation Discovery) is unique. Phelps engages the services of preeminent serial killer profiler John Kelly (Fellow of the American Board of Forensic Examiners and president of S.T.A.L.K., Inc.), and one very special guest each week: a bona fide serial killer behind bars code-named “13”. Together, they hope to shed new light on unsolved, cold serial killer cases.

The year 2012 brings nine books to print from Phelps, including four new titles. Look for NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN, the Christine Paolilla story, out now. In August, MURDER, NEW ENGLAND, a collection of historical and contemporary true crime tales. Then KISS OF THE SHE-DEVIL, a book focusing on the murder of Martha Gail Fulton in Lake Orion Township, Michigan. Slated for late fall is JANE DOE NO MORE, an important book about a woman, Donna Palomba, overcoming and surviving a brutal sexual assault only to be accused by the Waterbury (CT) Police of telling an incredible tale to cover up an affair.

Currently, Phelps is interviewing people, collecting research and actively working on three new true crime books. The intensely dramatic story of Bobbi Jo Smith and Jennifer Jones, two teens from Mineral Wells, Texas, crazy in love and on a “Thelma and Louise” run across the southwest after allegedly committing a gruesome murder. The yet-to-be-titled Jones/Smith book is about love, lust, lost innocence, murder, black magic, betrayal, and what happens when a kid grows up without much direction in life.

In the second case, Phelps focuses on the story of Danny Hembree, an “alleged” serial killer from Gaston, North Carolina, who has written to Phelps (and other media outlets mocking his life on death row). Hembree, whose alleged victims include 17-year-old Heather Catterton and 30-year-old Randi Dean Saldana, has been accused of leaving bodies from Florida to North Carolina.

Phelps is also looking at the Arthur Schirmer case. Schirmer is the former pastor of Reeders United Methodist Church in Jackson Township, Pennsylvania, charged with murdering his second wife, Betty Jean Schirmer, and also being looked at as a person of interest in the death of his first wife, Jewel!

If you have information about any of these cases and would like to speak with M. William Phelps anonymously or on the record, contact him immediately.

I want to thank each and every one of my readers. I am grateful for every single one of you. I appreciate your continued support, sincere and courteous comments, emails, and letters. I read them all. With so many books to choose from these days, I am humbled that you continue to include mine on your reading lists. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for coming back for each book.

I am happy to announce that the Polish version of Murder in the Heartland has been published (see the cover at the top of the page). So, to all of my Polish fans out there, have a read and let me know how you like it!

I am glad to sign your books. Mail them (PO BOX 3215 Vernon, CT 06066) with a SASE (self-addressed, stamped envelope—being sure to include the proper amount of postage for returning the package to you) and a brief note on whom the book should be signed, and what you would like me to say. Or perhaps you just want a bookplate. In that case, send a SASE with a request for a bookplate and the inscription you desire.

Please know that I am working hard behind the scenes to see that all of my books are available in the latest e-formats. I realize e-books are becoming more popular—although I hardly think the e-book will ever truly compete with the more traditional paper-and-ink formats—and want to provide my readers full access. If you don’t see a book from my list available to you as an e-book, please take a moment and write to me with your request and I will pass it along to the people in charge of such things. Authors do not decide which of their books are published as e-books; this is, like so many other things today, up to the publisher.

If you like e-books, check out this new publishing venture I have opened with my pal Gregg Olsen, www.crimerant.com It’s called Crime Rant Classics. We’ll be publishing short stories and classic true crime books!

Please go to OPEN ROAD INTERGRATED MEDIA and view the various videos about my life and career—there are links to the e-books attached to all of the videos. I encourage everyone to share these videos on YouTube, Facebook and anywhere else you like. Or, check out the video on my “Audio-Visual File” link above.

Also, if you do not find that your local Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, drug store/grocery store, or any other local retailer that sells books and/or stocks my books, please tell the manager of that establishment that you’d like to see my books in the store, and also drop me a note with the name of the store, town, state. I want convenience for my readers. You should not have to go out of your way to purchase my books! They should be available to you wherever you shop.

Once again, thank you … I look forward to the years to come. I have so many great true-crime and history stories to tell!

My warmest and fondest wishes to all,
