Excerpt Ranger Vance Tulley developed a dangerous habit of silencing radio communication during night shift rotations at the Zone 3 Police Department. The voices of local dispatchers brimmed with a sense of urgency that he found terribly distressing, particularly during the solicitation of crime scene personnel. While his peers rushed to assist with crowd control and evidence tagging, Tulley managed to lay claim to an obscure area tucked behind a local fast-food restaurant.  Overgrown greenery and low hanging tree branches masked the sizable truck as smoke billowed from its dual exhaust tailpipes. The rookie surmised that if he was relegated to earning half the salary of traditional law enforcement officers, then he would contribute half the work.

  New Flash! There are myths floating around about being an author. Authors are millionaires - majority of authors write because they have a passion of letting their words out. It's not that they are writing to be the next millionaire. On average most authors make fewer than 10,000.00. Self published authors don't get advances to write their books but have to pay upfront for a contract to have books printed on demand. Lights, Camera, Action! - There are millions of books published annually and not all books are made into movies. I can name Fifty Shades of Grey, Pet Cemetery, Waiting to Exhale, and The Help to name a few that were selected to be edited and written  into movies. Set your expectations to be realistic. Who Needs to Edit? - The myth that you don't need to have your work proof read, edited, and edited again before it goes to print. Why? You can't catch everything and its good if you ha...
