Death Before Coffee

Preface

PrefaceYou’re a smart reader.

You deserve authenticity. You deserve realism. And you deserve a good read.

I know how to write real crime fiction because I have lived it.

I was a cop for thirty years.

I walked the beat. I chased down murders, rapists, and serial arsonists. I walked old ladies cross the street. Hell, I even helped deliver a baby in the back of a van!

You want real? You’ll find it on every page that I write. Because it’s what I know.

You’re too smart for made-up, too convenient, that-would-never-happen kind of fiction. And you’re too busy for anything less than damn good entertainment.
