The series, Red Diaries, is a complex web of conspiracies wrapped in
conspiracies, and is the creation of Publisher Gary Reed who also is writing the series. Here,
Gary answers a few questions to enlighten us about this four issue story and hints at what
might be upcoming.
Q: First off, why the Red Diaries? Is that
something significant that we should be aware of?
GR: Actually it is. When Marilyn Monroe died, one
of the first questions asked by many people was the location of her Red Diary. Monroe took
that diary with her everywhere. It was not only a diary but a journal that she kept and
she wrote down almost everything. Yet, when she was found dead, there was no sign of the
diary anywhere.
Q: So, that is the basic premise of the series? The
diary?
GR: Its the launching of it. Basically, it
begins with someone claiming to have it in their possession. And not only that diary, but
others as well. Through the revelations of the diaries contents, it will expose the
whole tangled web that existed between Monroe and the Kennedys and also how the FBI,
CIA, White House, the Mob, Cuba, and many other manipulations that factored in.
Q: So, are you a Monroe fanatic or a Kennedy
Assassination follower? You know, the type that investigates the investigations?
GR: Not really, I mean, Ive read up on a lot
of the stuff that went on at that time period because I find it a fascinating time of
American History. It was basically the era that America lost its royalty, that
Americans began to doubt that the best interests of the government was into necessarily
the best interests of the American People. Obviously this was reflected in the the
rebellious nature of the 60s. The government cant be trusted. Now, the
cynicism is so strong that virtually anything said by the government is doubted
immediately and without hesitation.
Q: So, the theories that youll be presenting
in the series....is this something that you think really happened?
GR: Not necessarily. The conspiracy, as it unfolds
in the series, is based on one guy who states that this is what happened. Of course,
Im making sure that most of what this character is saying is something that is
popularly believed by a lot of people. And Im insuring that all the dates and
sequential details fit into place....so, essentially, this one character is stating his
theory as fact and I have to make sure that it is plausible, logical, and possible.
Whether people buy into the theory isnt really the point. The story revolves around
the investigative team looking into the claim.
Q: If the storyline concerns Monroe and Kennedy and
whatever else you might spring up on us, how is this relevant to todays world? Of
course, wed all like the know the true answers but would it be that earth shattering
to find out now?
GR: The ramifications may not seem to be too
apparent but theyre there. That was, to me, the major stumbling block of doing this
series....what possible relevance could discovering all these details have to do with
anything now. But Ive worked that in and so, it does matter. In fact, it puts some
of the investigators at risk.
Q: So, the last question is...who killed Kennedy?
GR: My guy says he knows who did it. But he
doesnt let on until issue three....or maybe its number four. You know what
they say, you have to read it to find out.
