Thoughts from the Author on COP'S DAUGHTER
I live in a typical suburban town where large amounts of the community are civil service families. What I mean by this are families that consist of policemen and women, firemen and women, military personnel etc. It is a very patriotic community. My idea stemmed from the large gathering of the community for town celebrations and holiday events like Memorial Day.
Once again the mystery took over the story line with a combination of corruption, jealousy, promiscuity and loss. When a crime so heinous, so horrific and heart wrenching as the murder of a police officer occurs the community comes together and everyone wants to solve the crime. As time passes and still there are no clues, no hints as to who may have committed the crime and the case seems unsolvable, someone has to stand up and take matters into their own hands.
A cop's daughter emerges, focusing on one goal and one goal only, to find her father's killer. She was mortified by his murder, the pain and loss horrific and there was no closure in sight. A cop's daughter is tough, independent and more than willing to take on the challenge. There is a great pride, awareness and intellect in being a cop's daughter. I wrote this story in honor of all daughters of cops. There is a definite uniqueness in each of us, something deep inside that makes us powerful, giving us that extra 'oomph' to get the job done.
The idea of creating a series emerged but not your typical series where the reader must read the books in a certain order. Instead, any book of the series can be picked up at any time for they are all unique stories. I plan on taking certain characters from the first book and mentioning them in the book to follow but the main connection will be the detectives working the cases.
Anyone in law enforcement knows that sometimes numerous departments, precincts, detectives and other law enforcement personnel must come together in order to solve the crime. I hope the readers will enjoy the series and the stories I have created.
Enjoy the stories and thank you for visiting my web page.

Thoughts from the Author on JUST LOVE ME
When I decided to write my first novel my thoughts were on a trip I had taken with my parents a couple of years before I got married. My father is retired from the N.Y.P.D. and was the Commander of Bronx Homicide. He has written numerous books and co-authored even more. He is considered 'THE' expert in his field.
His book PRACTICAL HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION: Tactics, Procedures and Forensic Techniques is considered to be the "Bible" of homicide investigation. His textbook Sex-Related Homicide and Death Investigation: Practical and Clinical Perspectives was written to address the increase in sex-related homicides and serial murders and is used throughout the world. He also developed a step-by-step crime scene guide called PRACTICAL HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION FIELD GUIDE, which is used by all law enforcement personnel at a crime scene.
I had the opportunity to attend one of his PRACTICAL HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION seminars in Honolulu Hawaii along with my mom. It was amazing. Honolulu was breathtaking and to this day I have yet to visit a more stunning or magnificent place of beauty.
While there, I met numerous law enforcement personnel and true natives to the Hawaiian land. The culture was so diverse and the people were so inviting it was actually hard to leave. I had the opportunity to learn about the inside track, the world of law enforcement in Hawaii. Although the land is amazing and most of the people are friendly and good there are bad people as well. No matter where you are, what state, what city, it doesn't matter. Cops tell it the way it is. There's no sugar coating. I learned a lot about the diverse cultures, traditions and customs of those cultures as well as men and women in uniform who help to maintain a peaceful, enjoyable tourists playground in the state of Hawaii. JUST LOVE ME was a fun book to write and I hope my readers enjoy it.
