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. Enjoy the stories and thank you for visiting my web page. LAURA MARIE
