Ernie Adams is a retired San Diego Police Sergeant and first-time author of the new novel, President’s Eyes Only. After decades of reading action-adventure novels, this is Ernie’s first attempt at writing his own full-length novel. His many years in police work has given him a unique perspective in developing memorable characters and intriguing plots, with real world conflicts that are both challenging and disturbing. Ernie served in the U.S. Navy. After his four-year enlistment, he worked a few other jobs before embarking on a career in law enforcement. It was, during his Navy time, that his writing impulses began. Intrigued by action thrillers, he whetted his writing appetite with the creation of numerous action-packed short stories, allo ...more

He shot her because he found $5 in her purse and she refused to tell him where she got it. One of his bullets narrowly missed her infant child. She of course wanted him prosecuted. When this case went to court, she retracted her statement and did not want him prosecuted. She said, he suffered enough. FYI, he was still prosecuted. I think the details of this story would make a good plot.(less)

“I don’t need romance or flowers or a commitment. I just want the sex, just like you men do.”
Ernie Adams, President's Eyes Only

“Donnetti quickly locked the bathroom door, cut the lights out then leaned back against the furthest wall, knowing none of this would save him. He heard the killer try the doorknob. Then there was silence. A moment later, there was a loud crash, as the door was kicked open, partially off its hinges. Donnetti crouched there in the darkness, looking up at the silhouette of the biggest man he’d ever seen.”
Ernie Adams, President's Eyes Only

“Temple sprang forward with the quickness of a jungle cat. Edna immediately swung the gun back in his direction, her finger already tightening down on the trigger.”

“This is not a give and take, Mr. Temple. I take. You give. That’s it. I will not bargain with you.”
Ernie Adams, President's Eyes Only

“There was no doubt in Penrod’s mind that she was dead — that he had just witnessed a murder.”
Ernie Adams, President's Eyes Only

Ernie Adams I just spoke at a local mystery readers group in San Diego. I talked about my book, President's Eyes Only, and talked about the writing and publishing process. The talk went very well. Lots of questions. And I stayed afterward and talked to many of them. I sold every book that I took, except one, which I gave away in a raffle. By the way, I recently lowered the price of my eBook to .99. That price won't last long though.
