Where did you grow up?

I grew up and still reside in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is also where most of this book takes place.

When did you begin writing?

Really young. Mostly with poetry and short stories. By the time I was in high school, I knew romance was my niche. When I had kids, the children's books came. This memoir is the first and last one in this genre I'd write.

What is this book about?

You Never Have to Remember the Truth: The Nick Gugliatto Story blurb:

It was one of the most sensational murder cases in U.S. history. Lawrencia "Bambi" Bembenek, a former Playboy waitress and ex-Milwaukee police officer, was arguably railroaded and convicted of murder. When all hope of proving her innocence seemed lost, she planned a daring escape from prison with her boyfriend, and together the lovers slipped into Canada under assumed names. Now, nearly twenty years after the escape, Dominic Gugliatto wants to set the record straight. The man who laid it all on the line tells a different tale — one of deception and betrayal. For the first time, Gugliatto speaks out about the lies and secrets long buried. That Bembenek knew more about the murder than she professed, and that the prison escape involved co-conspirators, including a retired Milwaukee police officer. The truth is coming, told by the only man who knows it all.

What inspired you to write it?

I got a call from an old colleague asking me some publishing questions. After a short conversation, she directed me to my co-author, Dominic Gugliatto, and I began writing his memoir.
How is it similar to other books in its genre? How is it different?

In the book, there's a whole Q&A section with Dominic on this subject. A few books have been written about this case, but this book is told in a humorous, conversational tone in first-person. It just doesn't detail what's known, but what's happened since. There's also a lot of tourism information on the areas.
What is the most important thing readers can learn from your book?

The truth.
Where can readers purchase a copy?

The book is available in Hardcover or eBook at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.

What is up next for you?

Back to romance. I have a romantic suspense coming out later this year, The Drake House, and I'm currently working on another contemporary romance, The Dysfunctional Test.
