Black Dahlia: Ask Me Anything, June 2026

In this video, I discussed my work in progress, Heaven Is Here! and Part 3, Decoding the “Detective,” in David Oranchak’s series on Alex Baber. It is a masterpiece of debunking a “true” crime fraudster.

The next Black Dahlia Book Club session is June 16. The next Ask Me Anything is July 7.
