PR NewsChannel) / October 07, 2009 / Chicago, Ill. / The author of a Drew Peterson book has been warned by Peterson's attorney to 'cease and desist' in her efforts to continue writing and finding a publisher for her book, which details the lives of Drew Peterson's second wife, Victoria Connolly, and her step-daughter Lisa Ward, during Connolly's marriage to Mr. Peterson.

The reason for the case and desist demand is because of an alleged conflict the author, Michelle LeFort, has due to the fact that she entered into a prior deal to write Peterson's life story from Drew Peterson's perspective, which Peterson's attorney alleges she violated when she backed out of it.

In the Cease and Desist letter dated Oct. 5, 2009, Peterson's attorney writes: "As I assume that Ms. Ward and Ms. Connolly are not aware, Ms. Michelle LeFort had entered into a written contract to collaborate and co-write a book about the life story of Drew Peterson from Mr. Peterson’s perspective in February of 2008. Ms. LeFort breached her agreement and then withdrew from this collaboration agreement in March of 2008. In withdrawing from the collaboration agreement, Ms. LeFort agreed that any work she did concerning the life story of Drew Peterson belonged to her collaborating author, who still owns those rights.

"Therefore if such a book is written, shown, marketed, or published, this office will pursue vigorous legal action to protect and enforce our clients rights.

"We demand that Ms. Ward and Ms. Connolly cease and desist from working with Ms. LeFort regarding any part of the life story of Drew Peterson, and we further demand that Ms. LeFort cease and desist from any project which concerns the life story of Drew Peterson."

Brodsky says Ms. Ward and Ms. Connolly are absolutely free to tell their story, just not with Ms. LeFort as the author.
