Meet other writers of police procedurals, crime fiction, true crime, detective fiction and thrillers. The purpose of the ongoing meetings is to network with other authors who are writing law enforcement related material. It is an excellent opportunity to explore new ideas, further plot development and gain first hand knowledge of police procedure from other law enforcement practitioners and writers.
Tanisha, a screenwriter, said of the meetings, “I like the smallness of the group and getting my questions answered. Also, I appreciated hearing all the stories.” Kris, a novelist from Great Britain who is working on his third book, obtained new ideas for character development and story arc. And, Betty, an aspiring writer gained insight from three published authors on the business of writing; as well as obtaining ideas on her own project.
The group leader, Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.), MPA is a 24 year veteran of law enforcement. He retired from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2004. In addition to being the author “Police Technology” and “Leadership: Texas Hold em Style,” Raymond is a university professor and accomplished entrepreneur. Both the experienced and novice writer, as well as any law enforcement professional, are invited to attend. Bring your “war stories” from both policing and publishing.
There is space for 20 people at each meeting. The next meeting is on February 5, 2007 at 7PM, Coffee Bazaar, 661 W. Arrow Highway, San Dimas, CA. For more information or to RSVP, go to
