To Post Or Not to Post

February 7, 2010

I'm thinking about posting a chapter that did not appear in No Choirboy. It is about Walter McMillian, a men falsely accused of murder, who spent six years on death row. I did not include his story in the book because he was not a teenager at the time of his ordeal. The murder victim, however, was a teenager. Would you like to read about him? Please let me know.

    I would love to read your chapter about Walter McMillan. I just finished No Choirboy so I can put it on the Florida Teens Read shelf in my media center :-)

    Thanks, Terry. I must first review the chapter with Walter's lawyers. If they agree it will go online before the FAME conference. I look forward to meeting you there. Best, Susan
