This harrowing experience became the foundation for his book, Crooked Snake: The Life and Crimes of Albert Lepard, published in 2019. The book explores the life of his abductor, Albert Lepard, and provides a broader commentary on crime and justice in Mississippi. Boteler earned a music degree from Delta State University in 1973. His varied career has included working for the Mississippi legislature, serving as a deckhand on the Mississippi River, participating in a Colorado rodeo, and teaching both construction technology and instrumental music in public schools. In addition to his writing and teaching, he is also a skilled custom furniture builder.. New in New dust jacket .
