Is Megan's Law Effective?

In my book Compulsion, Emily Stone is an investigator works anonymously and on her own terms. She uses cameras, recording devices, and her own intuition to track down the most violent and dangerous criminals in her area. Then, Emily submits the evidence she has gathered to local law enforcement and quietly moves on the next case, never desiring the accolades for her investigative work. Of particular interest to Emily is removing pedophiles from the street. And, who could blame her? There certai

Interview with Writer & Author John Walker – Part Two

This is Part 2 of my Interview with Author John Walker.

I won't waste anymore time. Let's just jump right back in…

Jennifer Chase: Sometimes I daydream about what actress would play my main character in my novel. So I love to hear other writers dream cast list would be for their novels. What actor would you like to see play Jack Parrish in the movie version of Wrath and Remembrance?

John Walker: This is a great question and one I have given a lot of thought to. There are five actors who come to min

Women Should Approach Online Dating with Awareness

In my novel Compulsion, protagonist Emily Stone effectively uses technology to track the most dangerous criminals in society. Armed with her digital camera, recording devices, and the internet, Emily is able to gather enough evidence against at-large pedophiles and murderers to secure arrests and convictions for local law enforcement.

When is a High-Speed Police Chase Too Risky?

What is the best way to tell a mother that her only son is waiting to be bailed out of jail? One of the most controversial decisions that a police officer must sometimes make is whether or not to engage

Interview with Writer & Author John Walker – Part One

I'm very excited about discovering this wonderful and talented writer with five books to his credit and with another two novels that will be completed in the near future. As many of you know, I'm a big fan of thriller novels and I can never turn down the chance to read a "revenge thriller". Maybe it's that mischievous alter ego personality side of me?

Author John Walker has graciously agreed to sit down with me to d

California Serial Killer Finally to Face Charges

In our modern society with its text messaging, online shopping, and sitcoms that neatly wrap up every family squabble in twenty-two minutes, we are used to instant gratification. However, the reality in the law enforcement field is that sometimes justice is delayed. This point was proven last week when it was announced that Andrew Urdiales, a former Marine corporal, would finally be extradited to California more than two decades after his killing spree in my home state began.

Fingerprints are an Important Piece of Evidence for any Criminal Investigation

Fingerprints have been studied for uniqueness, identification, and criminal importance for more than one hundred years. The significance of fingerprints and the criminal justice system can't be undervalued; they can implicate the guilty by linking a criminal to the victim and the scene of the crime and exonerate the innocent. Through technology and expertly trained fingerprint examiners, the fingerprint can be the single most important piece of evidence for solving a crime.
