Seattle Author/Cop

I was watching the first installment of the History Channel’s excellent series: “AMERICA: The Story of Us,” tonight. They had a good blend of what might be considered fairly mainstream politically right and left celebrities such as Newt Gingrich and Tom Brokaw.

The thing that struck me about those from the left, those who tend [...]

we go again, yet another government private property grab thanks to the now infamous, and atrocious, 2005 Supreme Court decision known as Kelo v New London [Connecticut]. Today the targets have Auburn, New York threatening eminent domain against two holdout property owners.

So, what hospital, jail, or freeway ramp does the Auburn community need that [...]


     One fringe benefit of a liberal Democrat being elected President of the United States seems to be a newfound, “universal” affinity for the American Flag. I’ve noticed, quite happily I might add, that many on the left side of the political spectrum have found a new love, or at least respect, for the flag. [...]

     I had an experience yesterday that brought something home that I’d had in the back of my mind for some time now. I was in my usual morning coffee shop picking up a couple of coffees to go, as my normal java partner had to work the desk today. I passed a [...]

Figuring out how to get the word out about what you do can be frustrating to say the least. I can’t tell you the number of, “Reach Millions of New Customers–Easy!” scams I’ve checked out on the web. I can’t tell you because it embarrasses me to think of it. I’ve pretty much ended that [...]

Hey! Glad you stopped by.
Here’s me: I’m a cop who happens to be a writer, or is it a writer who happens to be a cop–no matter; it keeps me busy. I’ve been a street cop for over fifteen years, a writer much longer, and an author much shorter.
My first book, Is There a Problem, Officer? A Cop’s [...]
