Writers' Police Academy

BeenBad Police Department

The Writers' Police Academy is designed for writers of suspense and police procedurals. My husband, David, and I attended the 10th Annual Writers’ Police Academy in Green Bay, Wisconsin in August 2018. It is a hands-on opportunity for authors who want to experience for themselves the field of law enforcement with some firefighter, first responder, and sometimes a dive team thrown in for good measure. There won't be many pictures to prove my participation because photography and videos are not allowed in many of the classes  to protect those officers whose identity in undercover work might be compromised.

Word Power - The Strength of Quotes

Occasionally a good saying will file itself in my brain for future reference such as this challenging command from Eleanor Roosevelt.

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

- Eleanor Roosevelt

Some days I do just that. Some days I’m too scared.

Just One Thing

Do you often feel overwhelmed by your busy schedule? Do you arrive at the end of your days exhausted and your to-do list half undone? Do you feel frustrated by all the activity with little accomplishment?

If so, take heart. January is the season of new beginnings, resolutions, and intentional life changes. There is hope for these overbooked days.
