The picture above is the apartment house where the gruesome murder of Holly Staker took place on August 17, 1992. The author of the book I'm currently editing, Ron Kranig, began working the case shortly after the murder when the woman who lived in the apartment, the person who'd hired Holly, an 11-year-old girl, to babysit her two children, contacted Mr. Kranig, asking for his help to investigate the crime.

During a 20-year odyssey in search of justice for Holly, Mr. Kranig managed to free the wrongfully convicted Juan Rivera, but Holly's killer was never identified. Ron Kranig, however, had not given up, moved to Florida, and continued hoping that someday there would be justice in the Holly Staker case.

As another sign from the "Storytelling Fairies" to keep the project going, for the first time I recently looked at Ron's Florida home address and found...Holly Hill, Florida!

Seeing that remarkable Synchronicity, not "Holy" as might be expected, but Holly, I knew Ron Kranig was a...man of destiny...
