Her first book saw her take on the FBI and her most famous work resulted in a legal battle with Fox. Her latest offering sees her take on her biggest nemesis yet; the media. Charles Thomson catches up with a journalist unafraid to speak up for what she believes in\u2026<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cEver since I was about eight years old I spent a lot of time alone in my room writing,\u201d says Aphrodite Jones. \u201cI was punished all the time. My mother was extremely eccentric and punished me for the silliest things, like hanging a coat on the wrong hook. I spent a lot of time locked away in my room. With nothing else to do, writing became a natural outlet for me. I guess it was inevitable that I would eventually find some way of getting paid for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like much of her life, Aphrodite Jones\u2019s childhood sounds extraordinary. Routinely punished by her ailing mother, who suffered for many years from heart disease, she was locked in her room for hours on end where her unique writing talent was allowed to fester. Jones has since channeled that talent into producing numerous bestselling true crime books, becoming one of America\u2019s biggest non-fiction writers and an authority on high profile trials. But Jones has worked hard to get where she is, overcoming difficult circumstances from a very young age.<\/p>\n<p>At 17 she lost her mother to a heart attack and at 21 she lost her father the same way. But by the time they passed away she had already left home to study at UCLA, where she read English with a view to becoming a writer.<\/p>\n<p>Having spent several years as a nationally syndicated feature writer, Jones turned her back on what she called \u2018fluff journalism\u2019 and moved to Kentucky where she worked as a news director for two local radio shows.<\/p>\n<p>It was during her time at the local radio stations that Jones began covering the story of Mark Putnam, the first FBI agent ever to stand trial for homicide. Appalled by the lack of national coverage for what she describes as a historical event, Jones left town to find herself an agent. Within a week she landed a book deal but would soon discover that writing a book was far more difficult than she had ever imagined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t realise what a huge task it would be,\u201d says Jones. \u201cBut sometimes I think being in the blind is a good thing. If I\u2019d known before I started what a struggle it was going to be then I never would have taken it on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Jones came to research the book she encountered a wall of silence from the FBI, who refused to release any information or court transcripts. After hounding the Kentucky Police Department for weeks on end she was given the name of a local FBI agent, who would help her crack the story.<\/p>\n<p>Jones\u2019s luck was short-lived, for upon its release the book, \u2018The FBI Killer\u2019, became the victim of an FBI smear campaign. The organisation branded the work a fabrication, but Jones insists that there was nothing in the book that could not be proved. \u201cThen they tried to claim that I\u2019d paid PR people to give my book good reviews!\u201d exclaims Jones. \u201cNothing could be further from the truth\u2026 I had no money!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To date Jones remains unable to explain how, as a first time author, she was able to take on the FBI and win, saying that she just did what she thought was right. \u201cI went out there with no rulebook. I just had to go with my gut. The lady who was murdered was considered a mountain lady\u2026 a hillbilly. People seemed to think her death wasn\u2019t important because she lived out in the sticks. I did it for her and I dedicated the book to her when it was finished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones is perhaps most famous for her third book, \u2018All She Wanted\u2019, a painstakingly researched account of the life and death of Teena Brandon, a young transsexual who was brutally raped and murdered in 1993. Intrigued by the local law enforcement\u2019s refusal to treat the murder as a hate crime, Jones flew out to cover the trial in full. The resulting book has sold over 250,000 copies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like to think that the book had an impact all over the world,\u201d says Jones. \u201cI got, and still get, lots of letters and emails from the gay community thanking me for breaking that taboo. We fear difference for no reason; there\u2019s a reason to fear terrorism or to fear violence, but there\u2019s no reason to fear somebody who leads an alternative lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So captivated was the public by the Teena Brandon case that plans were made to adapt the book into a Hollywood movie starring Drew Barrymore under Diane Keaton\u2019s direction. The plan, says Jones, was to make the film under the same title as her book. However, Fox Searchlight later made the film without her permission, calling it \u2018Boys Don\u2019t Cry\u2019, resulting in a legal battle between Jones and Fox. Fox settled, but Jones is legally barred from disclosing the sum.<\/p>\n<p>Insisting that there are no sour grapes, Jones says she was pleased to see the story presented to a worldwide audience. \u201cI think more people are aware of the story because of Hilary Swank\u2019s involvement. I don\u2019t think the film would have won the academy award with Drew Barrymore and Diane Keaton. I try to look at the bigger picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since then Jones has written six more true crime books. \u201cWhen I\u2019m looking for the subject of my next book it can\u2019t just be a crime. It has to be unique and interesting. I like to expose new elements of our society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the release of her eighth book, \u2018Michael Jackson Conspiracy\u2019, Aphrodite Jones certainly has a lot to say about our society. Such is her standing in the US literary scene that she was one of only two authors given full press credentials to cover the trial. In \u2018Michael Jackson Conspiracy\u2019 Jones rages against the media machine, exposing the mainstream media\u2019s aggressive campaign to manufacture a guilty verdict through slanted reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Jones admits to having initially been taken in by the negative media coverage of Michael Jackson. Busy covering other high profile trials in the build up to the Jackson case, she relied on fellow journalists for her information. \u201cThe attitude that the media was pedaling was that he must be guilty because he was on trial; there is no smoke without fire. Everybody was so busy looking for smoke and fire that they completely ignored anything exculpatory. Their minds were already set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir aim was to imply guilt because that\u2019s what people want to read; salacious gossip about Michael Jackson\u2019s life. It is the nature of the beast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the trial Jones remained convinced of Jackson\u2019s guilt because, she says, she was viewing everything \u2018out of context\u2019. \u201cI was watching through the eyes of somebody who had already been told he was guilty. I had fallen victim to this concerted effort by the media to present Jackson as guilty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones\u2019s moment of clarity, she says, came on verdict day when she was asked live on-air by Bill O\u2019Reilly whether she thought the jury had made the right decision. In that moment, she explains, she realised that there had been no evidence of any wrongdoing. \u201cAs I was thinking, Bill pushed me for an answer,\u201d she says. \u201cI told him yes, that they had definitely made the right decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three months later Jones was granted exclusive access to all evidence and transcripts from the trial. After spending several days in Santa Barbara photocopying documents it took her six months to read the trial transcripts and another six months to complete the book. When she finished, Jones realised the \u2018conspiracy\u2019 extended beyond merely the news media.<\/p>\n<p>Jones, a seven time New York Times bestselling author, found herself unable to locate a publisher for her book. \u201cI won\u2019t name names,\u201d she says, \u201cbut I will say that across the board, each company told me point blank that they wouldn\u2019t print anything pro-Jackson. I was eventually forced to publish it myself, in partnership with iUniverse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones was also unsuccessful in her attempts to get the book stocked in any high street stores, receiving the same frosty, anti-Jackson message. She was forced to market the book herself, touring book fairs and independent stores, and selling via her website.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018conspiracy\u2019 seemed to extend further still, as Jones describes a \u2018hesitation\u2019 on the part of the media to promote her book. A taped appearance on \u2018The O\u2019Reilly Factor\u2019 was pulled from the show without explanation. When Jackson fans campaigned for the interview to be aired, it was cut down to only three minutes and Jones was talked over throughout the entire slot.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson\u2019s treatment at the hands of the media, says Jones, is symptomatic of a much larger societal problem. \u201cI find it disturbing that right now the biggest story in the world is Britney Spears\u2019s mental state. We have war, genocide, famine, nations falling apart\u2026 but we have come to a point where the media resorts to manufacturing the downfall of celebrities to boost their own ratings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s this ghoulish sense of everyday people taking pleasure in witnessing the downfall of celebrities; this morbid sense of glee at seeing those better off than ourselves being punished for their success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jackson became a target, says Jones, because his downfall would have been one of the biggest money earners in media history. \u201cIf Michael Jackson had been found guilty it would have created an entire cottage industry for the media. It would generate a story a day: Who\u2019s visiting? Who\u2019s not visiting? Can we interview his cellmates? Can we profile his prison wardens? Is he in solitary confinement? Can we get pictures of him in his cell? The possibilities are endless. The media has literally generated billions of dollars by writing slanderous articles about Michael Jackson and it stood to generate billions more from a guilty verdict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unwilling to let the subject drop without a fight, Jones describes her latest project as \u2018to some extent, a TV version of the book.\u2019 She is in the early stages of producing a series of TV documentaries revealing the truth behind high profile media cases, exposing the motives that dictated what the media did and did not tell the public.<\/p>\n<p>But does she think anything can truly be done to end the media\u2019s obsession with biased reporting and celebrity tittle-tattle? \u201cNo,\u201d she says. \u201cI don\u2019t think the situation will ever be corrected now. There is too much money involved \u2013 too much temptation for producers to resort to cheap tactics. But I\u2019m going to keep doing what I\u2019m doing. I\u2019m not finished with this yet\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charles Thomson<br \/>\nMJSTAR Administrator<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aphrodite Jones finds trouble wherever she goes.
