What if a curly-haired, apple-cheeked, forty-five-year-old country club mom Sara Jane Moore, (also known as Sally to her friends), a suburban doctor’s wife, took deadly aim at the President of the United States and came within six inches of killing him?

Investigative journalist and award-winning speaker Geri Spieler established a professional relationship with Sara Jane Moore that lasted for thirty years. This unique access to her enigmatic subject, combined with her diligent independent research, reveals information never before known in Taking Aim at the President: The Remarkable Story of the Woman who Shot Gerald Ford. Published by Palgrave-Macmillan, the book will be out in January 2009.

Geri has written articles for the Los Angeles Times, was a featured correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle, and was published in Westways magazine and Forbes. She founded and edited Electronic Commerce News, a technology journal published by Phillips Business Information, which led to a six-year assignment as a Research Director and Analyst for the Gartner Group, an international technology advising company.
