Story by Courtney Dunn
MORGANTOWN -- The case of convicted murderer Michelle Michael, is being turned into a non-fiction book.
John Glatt, from Great Britain, is the author of the book.
Glatt has been meeting with people involved in the case all week.
He also interviewed Michelle Michael, who is currently serving a life
sentence for murdering her husband and setting fire to their Morgantown
home, in November 2005.
The work will be Glatt's 19th true crime book.
He says he was intrigued with the case after first seeing it on "48 Hours".
"I think it's a fascinating case. I mean I've read the trial and
everything and there are a lot of unanswered questions, lots of things
I was interested in finding out and I think I've got a very good
perspective just by talking to as many people as I can about everything
that happened with it," says Glatt.
Glatt says he hopes the book will be ready by Christmas.
St. Martin's Press is the publisher.
Michael is serving her sentence at the Lakin Correctional Facility in Mason County.
