- Heads or Tails: A true account of the nations worst hostage crisis
Lisa Joseph is one of the lucky survivors. On April 4, 1991, she and two other family members stopped by the Good Guys Electronics Store in Sacramento, California. As they left the store, she was grabbed by the hair and shoved against the wall. Shots rang out and four Asian gunmen seized the store to protest their frustrations and unhappiness with their lives and education in the United States. Thirty-eight people were held at gunpoint and before the day was out the suspects deliberately shot, stabbed or wounded eleven of the hostages, and killed three others.
Lisa Joseph can recount the harrowing experiences inside the store from beginning to end. She can describe:
· How the hostages get tied up with speaker wire in groups, and were then ordered to play death games. (Heads or Tails & Eeenie Meanie Miney Moe)
· What the hostages felt like during the discussions between the hostage negotiation team and the extremely violent gunmen.
· What it was like when the SWAT team finally stormed the store and ended the crisis. After, all the hostages had already been tortured for nine hours.
· How she suffered a miscarriage with a twelve gauge to her head in the store. Then was made to watch people being shot, including her uncle.
She can provide an insider’s view of the excruciating details of the most brutal and tense terrorist standoff in the history of California.
During the siege, the Asian gunmen made a variety of demands wanting everything from millions of dollars to more guns, bulletproof vests, and a 50-passenger helicopter to take them to Thailand, and 1,000-year-old Ginseng roots. The hostage crisis ended when the Special Enforcement Details forcibly stormed in, killing three of the gunmen and wounded the fourth. Joseph and her cousin survived. Her uncle was shot multiple times and killed by one of the gunmen.
Lisa Joseph brings to real life one of the pivotal hostage rescue operations in law enforcement experience.

If its in GODS will for one. I want to sell my screenplay and go on Oprah and Good Morning America show. I want my movie to have a message to all people. The message is............ to forgive and see all things in a positive perspective by learning about ones self and Jesus.
I forgave the gunmen for what they did..... so you can forgive others too!

I will be in the Sacramento River Delta - my hometown area - on October 10th for a book signing of River Bones at the Rio Vista library. 2:00 till 4:00. I'll give a short presentation and they will serve refreshments afterwards. I'm sending over some Hawaiian nibbles for that too.
Cheers,
Mary
I am currently finishing up on the screenplay. Unfortunately, I wanted to take my time. I guess..... I can't because, I have a movie producer currently trying to steal my story. So now........ I have to move to hollywood and beat him to the production. As for promotions, I have done talk shows, radio magazine and newspapers. I also completed a documentary for the History Channel. I did the project with my hero LT. Gordon Smith. I usually sell my book in high volumes by speaking for law enforcement. I have found it's extremely easy to sell once people can see and hear from Gordon and I. The truth is I have no writing talent and people buy the book. I think.... the story making world news for nine straight hours had something to do with it. I know God also plays a major part in all that has transpired. I pray and I ask. Trust one, it really works and I am in awe of the power of Jesus and our father. How are your projects working out?
