Eyes of a Pedophile Audio Clip Overviews

Posted on February 19, 2012 by bettykuffel

Audio Clip One: Name change to Nathanael Benjamin Levi Bar-Jonah and why he “became Jewish.” Descriptions of Massachusetts Bridgewater Treatment Center for the Sexually Dangerous, patients, and how he “trained fifteen psychiatrists.” Talks about his business of selling cards and gifts. Discusses being in charge of the Canteen and being the “inmate boss.”

Audio Clip Two: Leaving Bridgewater Treatment Center: Talks about his evaluations by private psychologists and how he was able to get out even after the forensic prison psychiatrists deemed him sexually dangerous and said he should not be released. Post Office Incident: 43 days after release he got into a car with a little boy.  “It was a misunderstanding.” Goes to Montana: Arrives without legal approval. Is not listed as a Sexual Offender in Montana and the neighborhood is not alerted to his violent predatory past. Starts Toy Sales: Talks about toy sales and “all my girl friends.”

Audio Clip Three: Bar-Jonah discusses his expertise selling collectibles and setting up table displays, doing toy shows and analyzing buyers. Wyoming discussion: Receipts showed he’d traveled in Wyoming and was planning to move there. He flatly denies traveling outside Montana and tells how he tried to cross into Canada.

Audio Clip Four: Walpole Prison-There is no record of a prisoner death at the hands of Bar-Jonah.  Abduction of Richard O’Conner: Bar-Jonah said Richard reminded him of a bad mechanic who sabotaged his car. He said he planned nothing, yet he wore a police outfit and brought a shovel. Bar-Jonah’s “rape:” Ages of kids discussed, some only 3 years old. Details described. Nothing verified. Psychiatrists and psychologists believe this story was fabricated to justify his evolution to violence. His friend Kevin reported no burns after reportedly being doused with gasoline and set afire.

Audio Clip Five: Bar-Jonah talks about not being two different people and how he changed his behavior to control his violent behavior. Details a “prison rape” by guards at the Bridgewater Treatment Center who “killed” an inmate. (The guards killed no one. They followed standard procedure and the filming was done to protect them from charges.) Bar-Jonah called the strip-search a rape and the filming his “first porno flick.”

A New Look At Publishing

Posted on January 29, 2012 by bettykuffel

Take a look at the Beacon article for a quick update on major changes in the publishing world.

http://www.flatheadbeacon.com/articles/article/e_book_revolution/26401/

Things have changed dramatically with the ability to e-publish. You can have your book available for readers in days instead of waiting for years to publish in the traditional method. In the past, most writers struggled with finding an agent, a required component for publication access. You have no access to a publisher without an agent. Yes, there are many agents but many agents want only established writers to represent. So new writers, unpublished, have a difficult time finding agent willing to take a chance and represent a new author.

Some new writers have an inflated view of the value of their writing. Finishing the first draft of a manuscript is the beginning, not the end. A critique group of experienced writers is invaluable in providing support and advice to newcomers. Manuscripts need to be honed and rewritten many times and when you believe it is ready for publication, find readers you trust. The readers are not necessarily writers. They are knowledgeable readers in your genre who are not family members. Unless it’s erotica, your mother will always tell you your writing is wonderful.

If you have a number of manuscripts, unpublished, waiting in drawers to be discovered, maybe now is the time. Pull them out and rewrite them. First novels are like training wheels. They get you going, a start, learning sentence construction, action, character development and tension. If you are having trouble with story structure a must is to take a look at Larry Brooks’ blog – storyfix.com. He is a wizard at engineering a novel and has some very helpful books on the topic you can purchase from his site.

Keep writing.

E-Publishing Progress

Posted on January 24, 2012 by bettykuffel

Do you feel like you have been writing forever and making little progress toward publication? If so, we have words of encouragement from the  mountains of Montana. Authors of the Flathead is a small group of writers helping writers and that is exactly what we are doing, helping each other. There are numerous critique groups, weekly meetings and monthly classes provided by writing/television guru, Dennis Foley. We are currently planning our annual October conference which will be held on the 6th and 7th, pushing ahead with dynamic speakers in a number of genres and a marketing/e-publication wizard, Roxanne McHenry. http://www.authorsoftheflathead.org

After years of frustration and many agent interactions without success, some of us decided to research e-publication of our manuscripts. The push into digital print is going well, very well. Currently, three authors who have published on Amazon Kindle in the past couple months (with Roxanne’s expertise) are #1 in their genres. This is very exciting for them, an income from their work, and they are exuding an electric enthusiasm stimulating others.

If you are interested in checking out their work and Roxanne’s go to Amazon Kindle Store and input: Kathy Dunnehoff, Debbie Epperson and Patrick C. Lee. I believe Debbie and Patrick’s books are available today for free download. I am drawing to a close on the final editing for “Eyes of a Pedophile” a true crime book based Nathanael Bar-Jonah. I have been working on it off and on for ten years–available on Kindle by Feb 1. It provides a window into the mind of a violent pedophile, providing common characteristics to watch for and cues to protect children.
