Police Wife

Police Wife - the Book!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Renee started writing online over 3 years ago about her life married to an LAPD narcotics officer and is still going strong. What began as a quest to reach out to other wives of law enforcement, sharing stories of both humor and heartache, turned into a wonderful discovery. No matter the location or department, we all go through the same ups and downs that life with an officer can bring. And it's nice to know that we're not alone. The book "POLICE WIFE - My Life Married to the Badge" takes you through Renee's life with Officer Jake and shares personal stories of her fun, often frustrating and yet always fantastic life married to the badge.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY

"This uplifting tale of marriage partnership to an LAPD Officer will open minds and tickle funny bones. Here is The First Lady of Law Enforcement, and she's cooked up something as inviting as a hot apple pie cooling in the window. Perhaps the best 'recipes' in the book are those that inspire us to embrace the unique challenges of romantic journeys traveled along a thin blue line." -- Officer Curtis Davis, active-duty LAPD

"“POLICE WIFE” is a must read for anyone who’s married to a cop, related to one or just considering being in a relationship with one in today’s world of Law Enforcement. By sharing her touching and heart felt experience’s and anecdotes of being married to “Officer Jake” of the LAPD, Renee speaks to the reality, sometime difficulties and the awesome rewards of knowing and loving a Cop… I’m going to buy one for my Mom!"  -- Line Reserve Guy, Reserve Deputy, Los Angeles County Sheriff Department

"I could easily visualize every scene and found myself rapidly involved with the characters.  It left me wanting to read more, which is always a fantastic thing. This is an excellently written book and a captivating read."  -- Alice Sturdy, Director, LAPD Wives Association

"I LOVED IT! So many of those stories are exactly spot on! Everything from dating an officer, to re-arranging holidays, to the dreaded phone calls of accidents, I experienced every one of those! It was great, and SO funny! (Even my husband laughed thru it!)." -- wife of a Signal Hill police officer

"The author of this great book is truly a unique individual. Being that she is an LAPD wife & mother I can truly relate to her life and the stories in this book. I too am an LAPD wife, have been for 25 years, and I stand proud next to my man in blue." -- Lisa Lopez, wife of an LAPD officer

Police Wife - the Blog Talk Radio Interview

Mark your calendars - I'm going to be featured during a Blog Talk Radio interview this week on the show "The Watering Hole." The hour-long program will include me talking about this book I've written, the "LAPD Wife" blog, the life I lead - and hopefully not making too much of an idiot of myself at the time.

This is kind of scary, but I'm looking forward to it. And all of my readers can now have a voice to put with the words I write. If you miss the show, it will be available as a download at iTunes afterward or from the BlogTalkRadio Law Enforcement site.

Here's the link to listen live: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/LawEnforcement May 7 at 2100 hours, Pacific. I will be interviewed by Lieutenant Raymond Foster, a retired members of the LAPD after 24 years on the job. He runs several web sites about law enforcement authors, is a published author himself and generally can do just about anything by reading his resume. Here's hoping he can make me sound good.

Wish me luck! And let me know if there are any specific topics you would like me to try to address during the show. I think you could even call in, but check their website for specifics.

Two National Police Author Websites Highlight "Police Wife"

My book, Police Wife, has generated more attention. The web sites lapdauthors.com and police-writers.com have highlighted "Police Wife" on their web sites. I'm very excited to be included on these sites with so many great authors and books in the world of law enforcement. (p.s. there is the very fun-sounding possibility of a BlogTalkRadio interview with me in the next few months. I'll keep you posted.)
