About meAuthor of Columbine: A True Crime Story, a victim, the killers and the nation's search for answers (Ghost Road Press), the first book of investigative journalism to tell the complete story of that day, the far-reaching consequences, and the common denominators among school shooters across the country.
I was one of the first reporters on the scene and covered the story for ten years as a staff writer for Denver's Rocky Mountain News. I have broken national stories on the shootings such as leaked crime scene photos, and the sealed diversion files of the killers. I also reported the story extensively for the Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor, Newsday, and U.S. News & World Report.
The result of ten years of research and exclusive information, the book reaches into fundamental American themes of violence, racism, parenting and policing.
Concluding with the tale of the tattered police investigation and how one of the most controversial victims' families faces down a modern American tragedy as the cameras roll, Columbine: A True Crime Story is a classic in the tradition of In Cold Blood and The Executioner's Song.
Foreword by noted historian Douglas Brinkley, exclusive cover art by renowned artist and cultural commentator Ralph Steadman, and photos from the archives of the Rocky Mountain News, which won the Pulitzer for its Columbine photography.
