THE SOUND OF SILENCE

On my blog today, I’m turning the Spotlight on the riveting work of Author Lori Cooper. Her soon-to-be debuted book, The Sound of Silence, is a shocking true crime memoir. It is a 44-year quest through cover-ups and corruption to catch her dad’s killer.

I have included her heartfelt letter below:

Dearest Carolyn,

Oh, what a joy you have brought back to my life! I’m certain you’re aware of the old adage about how things really do come full circle.

Who would have known when I was a young girl at the tender age of 6-years-old, I would have the opportunity to view for the next succeeding 6 or 7 years, one of my favorite TV series, ROOM 222, where your wonderful husband, Lloyd Haynes, played my idea of a perfect teacher in Mr. Pete Dixon?

Moreover, if we take a stroll back down ‘Memory Lane,’ we cannot deny that the late 1960s and early 1970s were some of both the best and the worst of times. We began to see that The Civil Rights Movement, however, wasn’t a document left to merely satisfy those in favor of diversity! There was more work to be done, of course, but ROOM 222 was certainly a start in television viewers becoming engaged with characters of all colors, ethnicities, and persuasions, and I was enamored by it all!

At one of the most impressionable ages of any little girl, I had the ability to now watch TWO of my all-time favorite television series in your work with Sol Saks in BEWITCHED, with the influence of culture, art, and entertainment at which both you, Carolyn, and your beloved husband, Lloyd, excelled!

Growing up in a small, midwestern suburb, little did you and Lloyd know how much of a difference each of you had been making in the medium of television on the life of this once very innocent little girl who had the need to be a sponge, soaking up everything I could learn in my favorite, cultural iconic television shows, and their backdrops, where I learned so much about the amount of work that was involved both in front of the camera and behind the camera. Thanks to what both of you taught me, I knew I wanted to be a writer, and possibly even a television series writer!

My dreams began to take me to Walt Whitman High School in Los Angeles, a larger city where I might have an opportunity to attend a larger and more diverse high school someday. The larger and more diverse the school, the more I knew there would be to learn.

Conversely, who would have known that each day on my walk home from school at lunchtime, where I had a full 90 minutes, I would likewise have the experience to learn about the supernatural powers of my beloved BEWITCHED, on television outside of primetime from 12 noon to 12:30 PM each day? I couldn’t imagine all of the beautiful people among both TV series: Elizabeth Montgomery, Lloyd Haynes, Denise Nicholas, Karen Valentine, Erin Murphy, and Dick Sargent.

While I never made it to anything remotely similar to the fictional Walt Whitman High School I fantasized about attending as a little girl, hoping somehow I’d make it to L.A., I did become a writer, for which I’m grateful to both Carolyn Haynes and her late, beloved, and multitalented husband, Lloyd Haynes. Throughout my nearly three-decade career, I had the privilege to write press releases, public service announcements (PSAs), letters to our Governor’s constituents. pamphlets, brochures, training materials, and more, All of my observations of the work of Carolyn and Lloyd Haynes catapulted me to work hard to hone my craft. Now, for these past 5 years, I have been writing a nonfiction memoir about my late dad, a law enforcement officer for the city of Columbus, Ohio, shot in the line of duty, and whose perpetrator eluded authorities on a nationwide basis for 44 years until my own search resulted in his apprehension.

The investigative work has been the equivalent of treading water in the deep end of a swimming pool for these past 5 years. It’s been an emotional story, wrought with pain in learning about cover-ups and corruption at all levels of our government, my late dad having been made a scapegoat for that purpose.

Eleven surgeries later that I, myself, have endured these past 2-1/2 years for a rare digestive health ‘dis ease,’ along with two bouts of COVID-19, nearly broke my spirit. My health issues definitely pushed the release date of my book back by a year, also heartbreaking.

But my goal is to have my book completed by the end of the year, hopefully, with all developmental, copy, and line edits, and rewrites completed, as well, so my late dad can finally have a voice. It would be untruthful of me if I didn’t learn, too, about why the word r-a-g-e lives inside of the word t-r-a-g-e-d-y. When we have lived our lives under the guise of secrets for nearly 50 years, the r-a-g-e can slowly find its way into the heart of the entire t-r-a-g-e-d-y. But that’s where I’ve learned that u-n-i-t-y likewise lives inside of the word c-o-m-m-u-n-i-t-y. It’s a choice. And that’s why I live my life every day in a way where I hope and pray I can instill, from my family’s tragedy, a unifying force that will help future generations understand we can accept our misfortune and devastation by helping others who have also suffered from random acts of violence. My late dad was simply trying to protect approximately 10 families from a trifecta of conmen who were not only unlawfully breaking into their homes, but who were entering them with burglary tools while these terrified residents were in the one place they always believed would provide them with the sanctity of “home:” their safety. However, that had been compromised by the trio of career criminals who used their guns to steer the lovely working-class people of this neighborhood to their most prized valuables, all the while under the threat of death by the guns these men pointed at their heads.

Nearly fifty years later, what improvements are we seeing between our police and our citizens? What has changed? I’d like to challenge you to these questions and ask you if you’d be kind enough to comment? Had my dad not been where he was, in his precise location on the eve of that cold winter’s March in 1972, three families may very well have been killed. I’m proud my father was a protector and loved being a law enforcement officer only second to his family. He was an American Hero to many. Contrary to the thought that all police officers are bad or are dirty, despite my late dad’s and my family’s story, I’m STILL very much a law enforcement advocate. How or why, you ask? Because I know that there are more officers in this country like my late dad than there ever have been in the few officers who made my late dad ‘The Goat’ that night in March of 1972, or the one in Minneapolis who became the judge, jury, and executioner on that hot May day in 2020, when a black man named George Floyd died by his hands.

Our good, noble, and honorable law enforcement officers like my late father, shot at age 29, a father, a husband, a son, a brother, an uncle, a neighbor, and a police officer, just like Chicago Police Officer Ella French, also age 29, gunned down and killed as she approached a car during a traffic stop. Officer French was a mother, a daughter, a police officer, a sister, an aunt, a neighbor, and so much more, and who didn’t deserve to lose her life over pulling over a vehicle for a minor traffic infraction.

U-n-i-t-y in our c-o-m-m-u-n-i-t-y or r-a-g-e inside our t-r-a-g-e-d-y? It’s a choice, folks, and I’m going to choose u-n-i-t-y every day, just like I’ll choose happiness over sadness every day of my life, too – right? Isn’t it all about our choices?

For that, and for coming out on the other side a better, stronger, and wiser individual with an advocate’s heart, I’ll always be forever grateful!

My book, THE SOUND OF SILENCE, THE SHOCKING TRUE CRIME MEMOIR OF THE 44-YEAR QUEST THROUGH COVER-UPS AND CORRUPTION TO CATCH MY DAD’S KILLER, debuts soon. Follow all updates on my website at http://www.WriterLoriCooper.com. Please…if you don’t mind, would you be kind enough to sign-up for my newsletter so I can email you when I know my book’s actual release date? You have no idea how much I would appreciate your kindness in that gesture.

Thank you for allowing me to share my story, my triumphs. @CoopLori on Twitter

On my blog today, I am delighted to spotlight the wonderfully talented Kelly Miller. Kelly discovered her love of writing late in life and yet has completed six novels. Ms. Miller resides in Silicon Valley with her husband, daughter, and their many pets. Her latest publication is Accusing Mr. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation.

The Regency era in 1812 England is the time frame and setting of this gloriously presented story. It’s truly an adventure in reading.

Could Fitzwilliam Darcy harbour a shocking, sinister secret?

In this romantic, mystery the beloved couple from Pride & Prejudice, a Jane Austen classic, cross paths with a ruthless killer. When faced with dire warnings against Mr. Darcy, will Elizabeth heed them or follow the dictates of her heart?

One of many reviews.

“You’ll come for the intriguing mystery and stay for the heart-warming romance. The characters are charmingly entertaining, and the murder investigation woven throughout creates moments of genuine surprise and suspense. Miller’s ability to create a compelling page turner will have you hooked from beginning to end.” –Ila Golden, author of “Echoe.”

I had the honor of an interview with three hamsters from Dundee, Scotland, last week and thought you might enjoy this adorable adventure. 🥰

Shehanne Moore is a most prolific, talented writer and one of my favorites. ENJOY!

‘Have you ever seen one of those dramatic moments in a film when two people meet, and all the noise in the room disappears?’

CAROLYN. Yes, it was at Hugh Hefner‘s party, and I was there to meet Hugh and his then-girlfriend Barbie Benton. I don’t think I ever believed in love at first sight until that evening. Even then, it took some time before I realized the thunderbolt was love. LOL During my conversation with Lloyd, I asked him what he did for a living, and he told me he was a bra salesman. Considering where we were, I thought business must be good. Besides, Lloyd was too convincing for me to laugh out loud, so I just stared quietly. LOL 

CAROLYN. Lloyd Haynes, the lead actor of the 1970s TV show Room 222. The show had premiered a month earlier, and I missed it and didn’t know who Lloyd was. Despite that evening we weren’t together right away. It was quite a long journey. 

CAROLYN. I started as a child with dancing, ballet, piano, voice, and modeling lessons. Then appeared in a few children’s shows, sang with on-camera personalities. I still have newspaper clippings that my mother saved. I grew into television, films, sang in a few clubs, and Lloyd and I almost toured together as singers, but my family came first.

CAROLYN. Yes, after Lloyd died, I wasn’t ready to go back to acting, and working with Sol Saks became available.

CAROLYN. Yes! I’ve been in the process of writing a book on Bewitched for the last two years now. I’m editing at the moment and hope to find a publisher with more clout to launch the book.

CAROLYN. Over the years, people asked questions regarding Lloyd and growing up in the Hollywood area. Then, one day a dear friend suggested I write a book. I was reluctant, but she convinced me. 

I prayed a lot and began the four-year adventure that I surprisingly enjoyed. With the success of my first book, I then had the honor to write a book for Sol Saks. Though he did ask me a couple of times while we worked together, I couldn’t imagine writing in those days. 

CAROLYN Thank you, dudes. I hope it’s a book that people enjoy reading. The best advice I received on writing I learned from Sol Saks. During the years we worked together, I took pages of notes on the advice he gave university students, his regime, and experiences writing for newspapers, scripts for radio, television, and books. His words explain it so much better than I can, and I believe I’ve captured the advice in this new book.
