Now it's getting real. Cover and back cover art for my first book, as designed by The History Press and @ArcadiaPub.

Tentative table of contents for the forthcoming book. One step closer.

After almost 2 decades with my company (Schurz, GateHouse, Gannett, USA TODAY Co.), my time's up. Started by covering local gov't, then City Hall, eventually the PA state capital & governor's race. Most recently a regional news director. Onto whatever's next: brucejsiwy@gmail.com

More twists than a Shyamalan movie. I shut it off thinking VT made the kick.

Extra ticket tonight, Section 140, claim it if you want it.

Officially signed my second book contract this week. This one covers the unsolved 1974 murder of Johnstown's Barbara Mangus. Dozens of interviews, an autopsy report and hundreds of Johnstown Police Department case files. Tentative release in the spring of 2027.

All day for some reason. What is going on?

An endangered species maybe, but yes they exist: a physical newsroom.

The dreaded red pen. About to dirty clean pages with heavy edits and to talk with publishers. But one finish line is in sight, even if all the answers aren’t.

“Putting the band back together.”

Not sure how to effectively pull together hundreds of police records, an autopsy report, court transcription and dozens of interviews to make sense of a half-century-old mystery, but that’s the plan.

We're hiring a new reporter in New Jersey. If you're a journalist in the Jersey Shore or Philadelphia area, give it a look: jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/g…

This weekend in Johnstown. Stop by, say hi.

Here’s a call for true crime recommendations: Recently read “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” … hoping for something on that level if possible.

A week later, but there’s never really a bad time to see Zakk Wylde shred a behind-the-back solo. Happy Thanksgiving eve.

Probably the most interesting thing about the new Ed Gein series is how his case inspired so many iconic films, like “The Waterboy.”

Well, that’s upstate Vermont for you.
