March 17, 2007 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to listing state and local police officers who have authored books, added a Georgia Police Officer, a Canadian Mountie and updated the listing on a police officer from the United Kingdom.
In 1990, Michael Holmes began his law enforcement career with a sheriff's department. He then moved on to the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department (Georgia). Three years into his career with the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department, he found himself caught up in the biggest scandal in the history of the city and department. Working a part-time security detail, Michael Holmes thought he was providing security for the transportation of diamonds; it turned out to be a much more sinister product. The Twelfth Man Standing is his account of the incident. According to one Amazon reader/reviewer, “This was a page-turner, shocker and a must read for anyone wanting the inside track on this explosive incident. The writer wields incisive yet subtle clarity in conveying this intense narrative. He skillfully places the reader into the very fabric of each situation. It is difficult to realize that this is the writer's maiden literary effort.”
Michael Holmes’ second book is Black Butterfly. According to the book description, Black Butterfly chronicles the true-life story of one of Savannah, Georgia's most talented female impersonators of the 1980s and 1990s. Joe Nathan Williams, under the name of Miss Tiffany Ross, performed in front of standing-room-only crowds night after night, and was welcomed and liked by all. February 1963, and the place is Savannah, Georgia, a small southern town the people refer to as "the Garden." A place where folklore and voodoo are still very much alive. Where being openly gay can cause you major problems.”
Don Easton, a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) police officer is the latest of the international police writers to be added to Police-Writers.com. His first book, Loose Ends, is a fiction novel, based in part on Don Easton’s experiences as an undercover operative for the RCMP. According to the MountieShop, Don Easton “soon leads the reader into the world of the drug trade in Vancouver; which is, in large part, organized, managed, and enforced by the biker gang known as the Satan’s Wrath Motorcycle Club.”
Don Easton’s second book, Above Ground is released this month and continues with adventures of the main character, Jack Taggert, an undercover Mountie. With the addition of Don Easton, the International Police Writer’s reference page now lists ten writers.
In more news from International Police Writers, James Hawkins, a retired District Police Commander from the United Kingdom has just released his tenth book and newest novel, Deadly Sins. In Deadly Sins, “Emotions run high when Queen Elizabeth II attempts to heal the schism between Christians and Muslims by attending a London mosque for Friday prayers. David Bliss, newly returned to duty while he tries to find a publisher for his novel, has the task of protecting the royal couple, but is caught off guard when an attack comes from an unexpected quarter.”
Police-Writers.com now hosts 414 police officers (representing 180 police departments) and their 887 books in six categories, there are also listings of United States federal law enforcement employees turned authors, international police officers who have written books and civilian police personnel who have written books.
