Happy Birthday Frances Glessner Lee (Part 2)

In honor of Frances Glessner Lee's birthday week, let's talk more about how her story is being embraced! There are so many ways to tell her story: books, music, tv shows, podcasts, movies, more books, poetry, fan fiction, education material, your own Nutshells. The lists goes on and on. 

Once I was at a screening for Of Dolls & Murder and someone in the audience asked me I knew that I've started a cult of personality with my film. Certainly, I didn't start it but I'm thrilled that people want to know more and want to have a part in telling her story. 

In my last post, I wrote about the new documentary film coming out about her and the newest book. 

There's another book you should know about, if you don't already: Rachel Monroe's Savage Appetites: Four True Stories of Women, Crime and Obsession. I bet you can guess who one of the four true stories is about. I love this book and I can't recommend it enough. 

It's always a little funny to me when a procedural show uses dollhouses because my phone blows up with messages from people wanting to make sure I know about it. (I always know thanks to google alerts.) Seriously, if I had a dollar for every time someone told me that season seven of CSI had a Miniature Serial Killer - I would never need film funding again. 

Recently, NCIS did an episode In a Nutshell where Frances Glessner Lee gets a lot of love. What a trip it is for her great grandkids to run across shows like this. Check it out!
