Closing in on turning 30,Fisher has autobiography
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. -- Amy Fisher, the former gun-toting teen who spent seven years in prison for shooting her lover's wife in the face, has an autobiography called "If I Knew Then ..." due out in the fall.
Fisher, who turns 30 in two weeks, is married and raising a young son in an undisclosed Long Island community, her co-author, Robbie Woliver, said Thursday.
Woliver is also the editor-in-chief of The Long Island Press, a free weekly that has featured Fisher as a columnist for the past several years.
Fisher was released from prison in 1999 after serving seven years for shooting Mary Jo Buttafuoco in the head during a confrontation outside Buttafuoco's Massapequa home. Fisher was having an affair with Buttafuoco's auto-mechanic husband at the time.
The $15.95 paperback, being published by Barnes & amp; Noble-owned iUniverse, starts with Fisher's troubled childhood, details her relationship with Buttafuoco, her prison time and her life and rehabilitation in the past five years.
A spokeswoman said Fisher will earn an undisclosed "cut" from the book, but proceeds are also going to several organizations such as Million Mom March, Amnesty International American prison projects, the Legal Aid Society's Prisoners Rights Project and various local domestic-abuse shelters.
