Tonight was an SVU “Special Double Episode Encore,” which turns out to be … two reruns. Click these links for my take on “Personal Fouls” and “Spiraling Down.” One interesting thing to note is that “Personal Fouls” — an episode about a basketball coach who sexually abuses the underprivileged boys who sign up for his charity — aired before the Joe Paterno/Jerry Sandusky scandal broke. Don’t know how the SVU writers managed that one.
In personal news, my publisher has proposed two possible covers for my next book, “Discretion.” The plot revolves around a political sex scandal that ensues after a high-priced escort is thrown from a balcony of the U.S. Capitol. The book is coming out in July, but meanwhile, there’s been lots of debate about which cover to use. What do you think? If you have a moment, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
