When I interviewed the late Evan Hunter (aka Ed McBain) for LizzieAndrewBorden.com, I found him gracious and entirely accessible. I simply emailed him and asked for his thoughts and he wrote me right back and was perfectly wonderful in giving me his full attention. The interview I did with him is still online here.

A video interview with Hunter regarding his book about Lizzie Borden was placed on YouTube recently. Enjoy!

Noted forensic criminologist and professor at the University of Maryland will be appearing on CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood on May 4th.

Tomm was the featured interview in the last issue of The Hatchet: Lizzie Borden’s Journal of Murder, Mystery & Victorian History-—-having served as an expert on the most recent documentary on the case for Discovery Channel: Lizzie Borden Had an Axe.

Says Tomm,

The show is on from 9:00 to 1030 AM. I thought you might find it interesting. If there is some breaking news, it will be pushed to the next Sunday. You know how that goes. I don’t know long the segment will be, but it is a topic that they have been working on for a while. Thanks for watching! TOMM

I’ll be watching!
