It is a rare event when you are fortunate enough to be a
part of releasing a piece of history to the public. My publishing imprint, RMSW
Press, falls into that category. While conducting research for a historical
novel I am currently working on, a chance meeting took place with Daisy
McDonald, the widow of former Dallas Police Officer Maurice N. “Nick” McDonald.
Mr. McDonald had written his memoirs
about how his life was impacted from the moment he arrested Lee Harvey Oswald
at a movie theater in Dallas. Sadly, Mr. McDonald passed away in 2005 and his
heartfelt, 300+ page story sat unread inside a thick binder.
I met Daisy McDonald in Hot Springs, Arkansas in April of
2013 after a speaking/fact finding engagement. After the meeting, she
approached me with questions about my experiences in publishing. We immediately
hit it off and talked several times over the course of the next few weeks when
she offered me the unimaginable: she wanted RMSW Press to publish her husband’s
work.
So, it is with humility, thankfulness and a sense of duty to
honor one of Mr. McDonald’s dying wishes that I bring to you the amazing cover
(designed by the team of professionals at Blue Harvest Creative) for Mr.
McDonald’s novel, Oswald & I, as well as the book trailer. Look for the paperback
and ebook on Amazon, Barnes&Noble and Kobo November 2013.
