Gary Sosniecki - Author, true crime

@thisisrondavis I I have 10 years on you, old friend. I guess I got to 75 thanks to hard work and good physicians. But plan for more aches and pains the next 10.

@GaryCrime SOZ! Thank you, man. How did we get here?

Tempora mutantur. Times change. The milestones were clear when I was a kid. License at 16, voting at 18, drinking at 21. Then: 30, 40, 50, 60, 65. That last one meant retirement, irrelevance, entropy. But times change. 1/2

@thisisrondavis Happy Birthday, Ron!

I turn 65 on Wednesday. Brain and elbows still sharp. Plenty left to see and do. Plenty left to write. I don’t pretend to know what the future holds. But I intend to romp through it with ferocity. 2/2

@oakridgeboys We’ll be there! Our 23rd Oak Ridge Boys concert!

Thanks to Drury University’s “The Institute of Lifelong Learning” for inviting me to talk about “The Potato Masher Murder: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband,” my 40th presentation since the book about my great-grandmother’s brutal murder was published. @KentStateUPress

Besides a book program Tuesday at Drury University for "The Potato Masher Murder," I have three concerts this week with the Symphony of the Magic Dragon. The first was Sunday night.

My 40th book program since "The Potato Masher Murder" was published will be for The Institute for Lifelong Learning at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, at the Olin Library (lower level), Drury University, Springfield, Mo. For information: drury.edu/mature-learner… @KentStateUPress

@WyattWheeler_ Speaking as a long-ago sports editor, you did a remarkable job here with the limited resources available to you. Best wishes in future endeavors.

The U-Haul is loaded up and we're starting a new chapter tomorrow. Will forever cherish the lifelong friends Springfield has provided over the last decade.

I’m amazed and flattered that five years after my book was published, I still needed to order 10 copies of “The Potato Masher: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband” for future appearances. Thanks to the more than 1,000 readers who already have bought copies. @KentStateUPress

The most fun I’ve had in five years of book programs! Tonight, I spoke to the Axehead Beverage Co. Book Club in Seymour, MO, where Helen and I owned the newspaper in the 1990s. All had read "The Potato Masher Murder" and had their own theories about the case. @KentStateUPress

@joebonsall So sad

I am sorry to tell everyone that our sweet Barny passed last night on Joe's birthday. Barny never gave up looking for his dear friend. I pray he found him! Mother Mary

I'm speaking to a book club this Wednesday at Axeheadbeverageco, Seymour, MO. Social hour at 6, book discussion at 7. I'll talk about "The Potato Masher Murder," the true story of my great-grandmother's brutal murder. Thanks to Andrea Rowe for the invitation. @KentStateUPress

Thanks to my recent interview with KY3's Steve Grant and now that "The Potato Masher Murder: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband" has been selected for the May read by the Axehead Beverage Co. Book Club in Seymour, Mo., I'm back in Amazon's top 100,000!

Change of plans: I won’t be at this event. We may reschedule.

I’ll be signing “The Potato Masher Murder: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband ” from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday, April 26, as The Book Burrow in downtown Lebanon, Mo., celebrates INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY! @KentStateUPress

I signed newly ordered copies of "The Potato Masher Murder" this morning at our new local bookstore, The Book Burrow (Lebanon, Mo.). Thanks to Courtney and Krystal for carrying my book about my great-grandmother's violent murder. @KentStateUPress

My Amazon book sales soared Friday after my interview with Steve Grant went live. It's been a long time since "The Potato Masher Murder" ranked as high as 91,562 on the Amazon best-seller list.

My interview with KY3 anchorman Steve Grant has gone live! ky3.com/2025/03/21/ky3… @KentStateUPress

Thanks to KY3’s Steve Grant (KYTV, Springfield, MO) for choosing “The Potato Masher Murder: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband” for the subject of an upcoming “Behind the Headlines” online feature. @KentStateUPress

@KentStateUPress FYI, it should be Krystal, not Crystal. My fault.

@GaryCrime Okay if we use this as the illustration for our next news roundup?

I’m excited to announce that signed copies of “The Potato Masher Murder: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband” now are available at Downtown Lebanon’s new bookstore, The Book Burrow, 114 W. Commercial. Thanks to Crystal and Courtney for adding the book. @KentStateUPress

@KentStateUPress Sure!
