Hello 1001 Stories Network family

Hello Everyone!

I has been awhile since we did our last interview- I've been turning down offers that just didn't catch fire with me- then last week I received 5 inquiries and accepted 4 of them-here they are: 

  1. This author's father was murdered for political reasons and the killer was never caught-the author has picked up the trail and will take you down some very dark places in his search…

  2. The author is a very talented Los Angeles Divorce attorney who offers a step by step guide to finding meaningful relationships and restoring marriages whenever possible 

  3. This man went undercover with the mob and was responsible for the take-down of one of most murderous mobs in the US

  4. A retired Miami Dade Police Sgt.is sharing a career worth of lessons learned arresting bad guys and protecting the innocent...a blockbuster story you won't want to miss!

 

1001 Stories for the Road

The Count of Monte Cristo continues- in one of this week's episodes (Wed at 5 ET) he finally gets his chance to talk privately with the woman (Mercedes) he was going to marry before a corrupt lawmaker condemned him to death under false charges to benefit his career. Will he tell her who he is? She believes he is long dead but apparently still loves him...all these years he has been plotting against the evildoers who set him up.... https://www.bestof1001stories.com/show/1001-stories-for-the-road/

1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories and Mysteries 

Do you recognize the name George Wythe? It’s very well known in Virginia and Williamsburg...he was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a close friend and mentor of Thomas Jefferson, and the first professor of Law in America. William & Mary named their law school after him.  In 1806, in Richmond, he was poisoned by a newly arrived 16 year old grand nephew and namesake whose name was William Wythe Sweeney

It was the biggest trial of its time and it all hung on one of the few laws that, as a prominent state lawmaker working for years to clean up Virginia's outdated laws- that George Wythe missed- a deadly irony.
