Today we welcome 5 more cousins to The Squad, being 4 Americans and 1 Canadian. This takes us to 116 in number! That's 116 cops and ex-cops who have taken to writing crime fiction. You won't get more realistic crime tales than those from this Squad! It seems every time I decide to do a bit of a trawl online for this project, I find more members. I've several more to add in the next few days. So, we have joining us today: 1. William Nikkel (US) - served in the Kent County Sheriff's Department in California. 2. Lisa Preston (US) - served, I believe, in the Alaska Police. 3. David Putnam (US) - served in the police in California (LA, I think). 4. Bernard Schaffer (US) - still a serving police officer with the Warrington Township PD. 5. S.M. Freedman (Canada) - worked as a PI in her previous life. Our Squad now consists of: 56 American 31 British 9 Australian 4 Canadian 3 Finnish 3 New Zealanders 2 Dutch 2 Swedish 1 French 1 Bahamian 1 Norwegian 1 Italian 1 Czech 1 Russian 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: Also: Cops Writing Crime 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). Cheers, ABP |
