‘In for Life: A Journey into Murder, Corruption, and Friendship,’ is a new true crime memoir by journalist Elaine Alice Murphy

NAPLES, Fla. -- Bajek Publisher Services announces "In for Life: A Journey into Murder, Corruption, and Friendship" (ISBN: 978-0578965192), a true crime memoir by journalist Elaine Alice Murphy, released July 18, 2023.

"In For Life" is Murphy's riveting account of her journey through the corrupt Boston justice system of the 1990's aiming to exonerate the wrongfully convicted Sean Ellis, a childhood friend of her son's.

Ellis was convicted in 1995 - at his third trial, after two prior hung juries - of the murder and robbery of controversial Boston detective John J. Mulligan. Age nineteen at the time of the crime, Ellis insisted he was innocent. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Murphy learned of Ellis's conviction and was shocked to recognize him as her son's former elementary school classmate. Stricken to think that the gentle boy she remembered would die in prison an innocent man, she joined forces with his family and lawyers in a quest to free him.

Murphy's research uncovered evidence of Boston police corruption that tainted the Mulligan homicide investigation and trials. Called "a game changer" by the courts, this evidence was instrumental to Ellis's release from prison in 2015, after 22 years of incarceration.

The high-profile Ellis case was the subject of the acclaimed Netflix documentary series, Trial 4, in which Murphy appears. But her book goes far deeper into events than Trial 4. It is a personal and unique portrayal of the case, woven throughout with insights from her two decades of prison visits with Sean and the resulting bond between them-a bond that became life changing for both.

New Crime Novel ‘NEEDLES’ Highlights Historic Town

NAPLES, Fla. -- Historic Needles, California was the last stop on the historic Route 66. It was a "welcome to California" for highway drivers through decades past. Famously name-dropped in "Grapes of Wrath," Needles was a prominent site and stopping point for migrant workers fleeing The Dust Bowl. Bajek Publisher Services announces "Needles" (ISBN: 979-8218059484), a new novel by author Jerimah Tracey, that takes full advantage of this enigmatic setting.

In 2023 life in the desert town goes on, but the decline of travel on Route 66 has eroded away its prominence. Sandy landscapes, an aura of historical fame and infamy, make the town the perfect setting for a gritty thriller.

Described as "Breaking Bad meets Nip/Tuck," the novel is a "vodka soaked and cocaine infused crime drama deep in the searing Mojave desert." Main character, Doc, is on the run from himself, Russian mobsters, and a family of dirty cops throughout the book's twists and turns.

Avanti Centrae, international bestselling author of the "VanOps" thriller series, described the book as "Quentin Tarantino meets Hunter S. Thompson. 'Needles' is heroin for prose junkies!"

Award winning author, media journalist, and book reviewer Anthony Avina said, "Heart-pounding thriller that tests the boundaries of grief and the fallout of the choices we make, author Jeremiah Treacy takes readers down the proverbial rabbit hole in a drug and crime-filled tidal wave all within the seedy hills of the Mojave Desert."

Unlike the rough and tumble bad guys of his novel, Tracey lives a quiet life as an advertising executive in Ruston, WA. However, his vivid prose and the exciting, action packed cadence of the novel, transport readers back to Needles. A historic town that is not so forgotten, after all.

Needles will hit the shelves where books are sold, June 27, 2023.

Shoe Mogul Steve Madden to Release Updated Version of His Best-Selling Memoir, ‘The Cobbler: How I Disrupted An Industry, Fell From Grace, And Came Back Stronger Than Ever’

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Steve Madden, the iconic business mogul known primarily for his eponymous shoe brand, added bestselling author to his repertoire when he released "THE COBBLER: HOW I DISRUPTED AN INDUSTRY, FELL FROM GRACE, AND CAME BACK STRONGER THAN EVER" in 2020. Bajek Publisher Services and Kucerak + Company announced today that a new, updated version of Madden's updated memoir will be released April 18, 2023. The paperback edition of "The Cobbler" (ISBN: 979-8986463902) will include a new intro and epilogue, as well as a redesigned book cover, resembling the notorious Steve Madden big head ads of the 90s.

In the book about his incredible life journey, Madden takes the reader from his humble beginnings to the success of the multibillion-dollar fashion footwear brand bearing his name. The additional chapters will shed light on the challenges of running a massive business under the unprecedented times that came with COVID-19. Sharing ups and downs in his personal life and business, he continues to make his mark in the industry, not without overcoming obstacles caused by the pandemic.

Steve Madden commented, "Who is Steve Madden? They call me an icon, a shoe mogul. But I'm just a guy who started a company with an investment of eleven hundred dollars and built it to its valuation of three billion." Madden continued by saying, "I made a lot of mistakes along the way-including some that landed me in prison and at the mercy of addiction. I love what I do, I love the hustle, but honestly, I just want every woman in the world wearing Steve Madden shoes."

"In this updated version of The Cobbler, I share my story, with a reimagined version, reflecting on life during a global pandemic and the lessons learned -- something for which everyone can relate," said Madden.

The memoir is an important read for any person looking to be encouraged, enlightened, and entertained. The Cobbler will be distributed domestically and internationally by Cardinal Publishers Group and will be available wherever books are sold, online and at your favorite bookstore.
