Announcing Delaware Behaving Badly, a true crime collection uncovering scandals, heists, and cons that made headlines in the First State.
I’m deep in the trenches of my next book, a true crime collection ripped straight from the front pages. Delaware Behaving Badly uncovers the scandalous, the shocking, and the downright unbelievable crimes that gripped the First State. These are the stories that had newspapers scrambling for ink and readers gasping in disbelief.

🔹 Oyster pirates prowling the Delaware Bay, looting thousands of bushels under the cover of darkness. When caught, they hired a former U.S. senator to defend them—and kept right on oystering.

🔹 A bank teller who stole a staggering $107,000 before vanishing without a trace. His escape route may have involved a politically connected insider, a mysterious letter, and a quiet passage to Cuba.

🔹 A criminal gang so skilled at burglary they graduated from stealing tractors to masterminding an art heist—lifting paintings worth $750,000 from one of America’s most celebrated artists.

🔹 Witchcraft hysteria that simmered for centuries—delving into cursed hens, silver bullets for suspected witches, and a Jewish fortune teller run out of town for his supernatural scams.

🔹 A desperate railroad man who thought he could get his old job back by saving a train from disaster—except the plan backfired, killing four people and sending him straight to trial.

These are just a few of the true stories I’m unearthing. If you love history with a dark twist, stay tuned. Delaware Behaving Badly is coming soon. 🔍📖 #TrueCrime #DelawareHistory #Scandalous
