Hope to see you there. 9/15/2000We have some new friends at Kota Press. Visit their website at www.kotapress.com. You will find some very sensitive materials dealing with infant loss and some other hopeful titles. Lots of great original poetry in an online journal format, too. 5/26/2000Book Sighting:On CBS News, Friday, May 12, a copy of What to do When
the Police Leave could be seen on camera during an interview with Christine Todd
about the Million Mom March. Earlier that week, Senator Chuck Robb invited a panel
of homicide victims, including Bill Jenkins and Christine Todd to Northern Virginia.
All the attendees received a signed copy of the book. Christine had it with
her during her interview later in the week and it could be seen next to her on the table
at the end of the interview. 5/10/2000We have some new friends at Babysteps. A very nice website filled with some valuable and useful resources for bereaved families, especially those suffering the loss of a young child. I can identify with the authors in many ways, especially that of not finding the resources which should have been readily available in our loss. This is another site and another family which has tried to bring victory out of tragedy and order out of chaos. Jerry Pearce, The Radio Detective, of Fresno, CA writes: 5/2/2000Bill's workshop entitled, A Victim's Perspective on Death Notifications at the Virginia Institute of Forensic Science and Medicine's Basic Death Investigations course was a great success. He will be teaching the workshop again in October. He will be teaching a similar program in Minnesota the first week of June. 3/15/2000Thanks to Jerry Pearce, The Radio Detective on Fresno, CA radio station, KMPH-FM for a great interview and glowing endorsement of our book. The 45 min. interview was touching and encouraging. Jerry's most memorable line, "You never know when a friend or loved one is going to need this book to pull them through." 2/21/2000What to do When the Police Leave is now being carried in several specialty catalogs, in print and online. Thanks to Mentor Books, Compassion Books, GROWW, and In-Sight Books for their attention. Visit our unique Online Bibliography for more information on companies that specialize in carrying the resources you need for healing and recovery. Our friends at Bereavement Magazine have a new look to their website. Visit them at www.bereavementmag.com to see their new online home. They have an extensive set of links and resources, and some of the most inspirational and helpful materials available today for the bereaved. Their new column, Grief in the Workplace is an especially welcome and informative addition. 1/1/2000We're back online with a new webhost! Thanks to Cybernetfinder for their prompt attention. Read A New Year's wish for you from us. Bill Jenkins appeared on local television the Sunday before Christmas on This Week in Richmond, talking with host, Lisa Schaffner about the book, What to do When the Police Leave. Hopefully this will be the first of many media appearances in our efforts to get the word out.
