On this day 44 years ago, I was attacked by serial killer Ted Bundy. I survived, but two of my sorority sisters did not. Today, I am announcing that I have accepted an offer with Chicago Review Press for my memoir, "A Light In the Dark: Surviving More than Ted Bundy."

It always amazes me that people are so fascinated by Ted Bundy. I am interested in him because I survived his 1978 attack at FSU's Chi Omega house. What is it that you find interesting about Bundy?

On January 15, 1978 I was in bed at the Chi Omega house at FSU.
Ted Bundy entered the house.
He killed two of my sisters and attacked me and my roommate.
In my book" A Light in the Dark: Surviving More Than Ted Bundy"
I tell of the attack and my life with lupus and breast cancer

January 15,1978, that was the night I was attacked by Ted Bundy. He tried to take me on his journey of killing, but I survived. This is my journey now and I look forward with great excitement and anticipation to what 2020 might bring!

Approximately 12 hours from now (EST in the USA), Bundy was electrocuted in 1989. The man who attacked my sorority sisters and me was finally dead and we could move on in our own private ways.

Tori Telfer wrote a great article for Rolling Stone on Ted Bundy and the victim that got away.
Check out her book "Serial Lady Killers". It is a great read and has been a real killer in the book clubs. I can't wait to see what she writes next.

I am going to watch Discovery ID "Ted Bundy: Mind of a Monster" on Sunday. I want to understand why he attacked me, and how he could torture, kill and then mutilate the bodies of so many young women.
Just this preview alone is SO chilling 😰

Ted Bundy could be angry in court but he did not scare me! I took the stand in court and stared him down from the stand. He attacked me in my bed, but I let him know he didn't break me.

@missesmysteries

He wasn't nice when he attacked me in my bed at the Florida State sorority house. He wasn't nice when he murdered 2 of my sisters in their beds at Chi Omega. There wasn't anything nice about him.

Staying home many of us are communicating by social media. Instead think about sending handwritten letters. No stamps, order them online. I was attacked by Ted Bundy, while recovering, I found comfort in reading letters that people took time to write me.
Stay Healthy.

I was so angry when I found out that Bundy got a stay on his 7/1/86 execution date. It was an insult to all the women and girls he killed, including my sorority sisters, Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy.

No midnight mass for Ted Bundy.
Starke Florida residents react to Ted Bundy's execution on July 1, 1986 (when actually it never happened because Ted received a stay).

Not one tear was shed for his victims, two of whom were my sorority sisters at FSU. Ted Bundy was a violent narcissist who felt entitled to harm others and expected no repercussions on his end.
Swap 'kill' for 'eat a giant bag of roast beef Monster Munch' and you will catch a glimpse of my psyche 24/7

I use the word "serial killer" with Bundy because he attacked me in 1978 and tried to kill me. He also attacked my roommate, Karen. I believe this is the best term to describe him.

Also when Ted Bundy was on trial a bunch white women would dye their hair (brunette) like how he liked on his victims & they’d be supporting him in court. He received a lot of fan mail, he even married a woman while on death row & had a daughter with her. They are disgusting!
