Also: • Wool and Graze: Gay sheep revisited
	Golden Rule: Best-selling crime writer's phenomenal success lies in exploring the worst of humanity She dubbed her Web site www.annrules.com - and when it comes to true-crime writing, she pretty much does. Twenty-six of Ann Rule's 28 books have ridden the New York Times best-seller list, some at the same time. Readers can already order her 29th - "Too Late to Say Goodbye" - even though she is still writing the last 100 pages of her forthcoming account of a Georgia dentist charged with murdering two women whose deaths were originally deemed suicides.
