One of the most miraculous stories to arise out of the Haiti earthquake catastrophe of 2010 was the four-month-old who was found alive in the rubble four days after the quake.

The (Real) Life of a Rookie TV Reporter
Jordan Fox has a problem. False Truth Serial readers know her first job after college has turned from her dream job into a low paying internship.

Diane Capri Steps Into the Shoes of Jordan Fox
I recently had an opportunity to step into Jordan Fox‘s world and it was truly surreal. No, I wasn’t sent to solve a cold case or to investigate a suspicious airplane crash.

Chilling Photos From An Abandoned Cigar Factory
In the mystery serial False Truth that Beth Dexter writes with me, reporter Jordan Fox makes a visit to a cigar factory. I won’t give away any spoilers, but you know what I’m talking about if you’ve read the books that have been published so far. The factory Jordan goes to is a lot like this one, built in […]
Drone Delivery: Real Life or Mystery Fiction?
If you’ve read the False Truth Mystery Serial, you know drones play a major role in the Jordan Fox Mystery. Drone usage across the world is developing more quickly than the laws can keep up. One story I’ve been following is Amazon’s effort to use drones to get packages into customers’ hands within thirty minutes […]
