Oprah's Book Club Bestseller List Misses #1 Bestselling True Crime Biography

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 30, 2004 -- Former IBM Director of Corporate Business Intelligence, Sydney Newman Dotson, is a corporate spy turned detective in "No Greater Deception, A True Texas Story."

Dotson's debut book skyrocketed to #1 on Amazon and Barnes and Noble True Crime Biography Bestseller Lists. Dotson tops Ann Rule, John Glatt, James Patterson and Marion Collins. It�s the only CSI Identity Theft book.

"Making the Top 10 Bestseller Lists is wonderful. Becoming the number one true crime biography is outstanding," says Dotson. "I hope Random House, HarperCollins and St. Martin's publishers are watching. They missed the opportunity to pick me up under their imprint title. I self-published this book to take my story to the public.�

�I think my book will appear on Oprah�s Book Club, the Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Washington Post and USA Today Bestseller Lists shortly.�

�Lifetime Television and Benderspink Production Company have indicated an interest in purchasing the film rights option. The William Morris Agency may represent me soon.�

Despite waves of publicity and a rock-star reception at all her booksignings, sales of the author�s biography at bookstores are modest, as the climate at local retailers resembled a presidential library rather than a frenzied concert.

Dotson's book was officially released in November, but local booksellers didn't stock the book.

Barnes & Noble, Borders and Books a Million Bookstores were not prepared to meet the demand. Customers were often told the book is "not in stock" or "not available."

Residents in Chicago, Houston, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Florida and Atlanta said they called ahead to make sure the book was in stock, then nabbed a copy on Amazon or B&N.com.

"Deceased victims of identity theft cannot come back from the dead to defend themselves," says Dotson. "It leaves the victims' children to seek justice on their deceased relatives behalf.�

"My stepmother had a brilliant scheme. She opened a number of bank accounts in my father's name. She signed my father's name on for years. The cancelled checks and bank statements were mailed to numerous post office boxes. When she produced the forged checks in court to prove the forged signature on the checks matched the forged signature on the forged will, that's when we nabbed her. Several grocery store clerks had circled her name on the checks as the person who signed my father's name."

Dotson's family�s friends make them anything but normal. Was it normal for Joe Bonanno to show up at their home? Just how involved was their father in the gambling and prostitution rings along the Galveston Bay? Were his connections to President George Bush, Lyndon Johnson, Lady Bird and Joe Bonanno much deeper than they seemed? Was he involved in the JFK assassination?

What the two sisters� forensic handwriting expert, Mrs. Higgins, discovers will send chills up and down your spine.

"NO GREATER DECEPTION, A TRUE TEXAS STORY" is available on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com
