Cops Writing Crime - 3 more members join The Squad.

Another 3 colleagues (2 American and 1 Australian) join The Squad today, bringing its numbers to 310.

That's 310 cops and ex-cops (and other law enforcement types, plus 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. John A. Hoda who served with the Philadelphia PD, and has worked as a PI.
2. Jack Roney who served with the Queensland Police in Australia.
3. C.J. Edwards who served with the Indianapolis PD.

Our Squad now consists of:

186 American, 63 British, 17 Australian, 16 Canadian
4 New Zealander, 3 Finnish, 2 Dutch, 2 Swedish
2 French, 2 Irish, 1 Bahamian, 1 Norwegian
1 Italian, 1 Czech, 1 Russian, 1 Hungarian
1 Spaniard, 1 Pakistani, 1 Chinese, 1 Brazilian, 1 Indian
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:
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

Hi Danny, lovely to get your message and always great to meet fellow crime authors who have walked those streets! You are already in the group - at #283.

If you haven't seen the project page yet, you can see it on my website. GR won't allow me to post the link, I just tried!

And do you write short stories as well? If so, you might be interested in submitting for the second volume of Cops Writing Crime. I've just released the first anthology - "To Serve, Protect, and Write".
Cheers, Andrew

Danny Smith Thanks, Andrew. I'll try to find that project page.

Yes, I do occasionally write short stories and have published a couple of them. I'd be honored to contribute to your next anthology.

My best,

Danny

Hi Danny,
Fantastic, I'll put you on the list to send the project brief to you when it's ready, probably around 2-3 months away.
Cheers, Andrew
