SOS: “Taken into Custody” could go out of print

A very important appeal by Stephen Baskerville:

Cumberland House Publishing is being sold, and unless action is taken soon, Taken Into Custody will go out of print.  This is serious for two reasons:  First copies will no longer be available.  Second, if this book does not succeed, no other book on the abuses of family court and the divorce industry will be published for a very long time.  Publishers make decisions based on what sells.   If you want your own book published, please help with the success of this one.

This is urgent, as it could go out of print in a matter of days.

Two things must be done:

First, we need to sell as many copies as possible while the book is still in print.  Now is the time to buy copies and urge others to do so.  To order, go to the TIC page on Amazon here.

Second, if you have any media contacts, now is the time to use them.  I need more radio and TV exposure to keep the book alive.

To assist you, Mike Seeber and Molly Olson have produced the following terrific 2-minute video, which is now up on YouTube.  Please distribute this to your media contacts and local officials:

TIC now has 54 5-star reviews on Amazon.  Few books have comparable ratings.  All published reviews have been highly positive.  (See the list of reviews and jacket quotations below.)

Thanks for all your support and assistance in the past.  And hang in there.

_______________
F4L — Update 2009 01 04: That is one case of where the murder of a husband was prevented.  How many times has a hit man been hired, when a wife wanted an easy “divorce”, all of the matrimonial assets and the life insurance, and the plot was not discovered? No one knows!

All we know is that roughly one third of murders of men remain unsolved.  Not all of the blame for those unsolved murders can be laid at the feet of women.  Nevertheless, when, for example, poison was used, the murders are often not even thought to be anything other than deaths of natural causes, unless the little wife is so unfortunate as to come under suspicion when, one after another, she had become “bereaved” of her husbands.

Michael Newton, in his book Bad Girls Do It! an Encyclopedia of Female Murderers (Paperback - Nov 1993), scratched the surface of that.  The book has a flaw.  It is without an index, but, after reading the book, one is left to wonder what caused the myth of female innocence to come into existence.  The book illustrates that without a doubt it is the myth of female innocence that permits many women to kill and kill again without coming under suspicion.  The book leaves the impression that there are right now many women who murdered with impunity without having come under suspicion, let alone having been charged with murder.
