RED DIARIES Interview With Gary Reed, creator of Red DiariesThe 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: It’s 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 Kennedy’s and also how the FBI, CIA, White House, the Mob, Cuba, and many other manipulations that factored in. o, are you a Monroe fanatic or a Kennedy Assassination follower? You know, the type that investigates the investigations? GR: Not really, I mean, I’ve 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. Ii was basically the era that America lost it’s royalty, that Americans began to doubt that the best interests of the government was not necessarily the best interests of the American People. Obviously this was reflected in the rebellious nature of the 60’s. The government can’t be trusted. Now, the cynicism is so strong that virtually anything said by the government is doubted immediately and without hesitation. So, the theories that you’ll 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, I’m making sure that most of what this character is saying is something that is popularly believed by a lot of people. And I’m 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 isn’t 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 today’s world? Of course, we’d 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 they’re 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 I’ve worked that in and so, it does matter. In fact, it puts some of the investigators at risk.
