Picture
Another 6 colleagues - 4 Americans, 1 Brit, and 1 Canadian - join The Squad today, bringing its numbers to 240.  

That's 240 cops and ex-cops (and some PIs) who have taken to writing crime fiction.  You won't get more realistic crime tales than those from this Squad!


We have joining us today:
1.   Lisa Black - served as a forensic scenes of crime officer with the Cape Coral PD in Florida.
2.   G. S. Marriott - served with the Ontario Provincial Police in Canada.
3.   Terrance Donegan - served with the Phoenix PD in Arizona.
4.   Lee Cockburn - served with Police Scotland (Edinburgh, I think) in the UK.
5.   Curt Rude - served as a police officer for 30 years in the USA (I think in Minnesota).
​6.   Richard Enright (deceased 1953) - an historical entrant to The Squad - served as Chief of Police in the NYPD.


Our Squad now consists of:

142 American
48 British

13 Canadian
12 Australian
4 New Zealander
3 Finnish
2 Dutch
2 Swedish
1 French
1 Bahamian
1 Norwegian
1 Italian
1 Czech
1 Russian
1 Hungarian
1 Spaniard
1 Pakistani
​1 Irish
1 Chinese
1 Brazilian
2 "International" (listed as this due to current serving officer requirements)


I'll keep adding more as I come across them, and if you know of any others please feel free to drop me a line.

Check out The Squad:

​
And please remember, my list is only for CRIME FICTION - not all the true crime and/or memoir writing by cops and ex-cops that's out there (as good as so much of that is).

COPS WRITING CRIME - Anthology Project Update.

5/6/2020

I'm very excited about this project, which I think will be unique in the annals of crime fiction anthologies.
My call out to members of The Squad, crime fiction writers who are ex-cops, law enforcement, or PIs (and some still serving), has already resulted in over 30 interested authors for the project.
I've got interested Squad members from the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Pakistan.
So, the project blurb has been dispatched, and hopefully pens and keyboards are getting worked up for some fine new crime stories.
The initial deadline for submissions is the end of September this year, so realistically I should be publishing the anthology around the end of the year.
The working title is: A Blue Anthology: Cops Writing Crime.
I think this is going to be a great collection of realistic crime fiction.  Watch this space.
Cheers,
ABP
