A friend and former student of mine (and mid-to-high-ranking officer in the NYPD) wrote me this:
I picked up your book at Barnes and Noble on W. 18th Street last Wednesday. Congratulations! Just started reading and it is enjoyable already. You’re the best author I know (and only author I know, we cops are not known to hang in literary circles).
I know you put a lot of hard work and sacrifice into this book. Thanks again for being my professor (Received MA degree in Feb.), friend and now distinguished author. Wish you continued success.Talk to you soon,
