Bad Luck Update: Bad Ass Vest

We are now three weeks into the new year and I need help. Psychiatric assistance would be the most appreciated. I was at the Child Protective Services (CPS) office last week and we discussed the number of child crimes cases being reported in the past two months. Our county is being bombarded. Many officers have difficulty working with CPS but I love these ladies. We have found a way to stay within guidelines and help children. They have different rules from law enforcement but they are overworked and underpaid just like us. Going to their office also gives me a strong dose of estrogen, which I need now and then. Nothing against type “A”, macho, egotistical, little p…., well you see what I mean. Sometimes, the big E is needed.

On to other subjects…I missed my release date for Bad Luck Officer, sorry. The book is complete, re-written, and completed again. It’s now in the extreme editing stage, ugh. I’m hoping to publish it next month so please keep your fingers crossed. Along with psychological help, crossed fingers can’t hurt.

I’m now running three blogs. The cold hard truth is that I’m a blogomaniac. I’ve decided to post on opposite weeks for my main two, Bad Luck Detective and Fang Chronicles.  Fang is where I write about spiders, vampires and my crazy life outside of cop stuff. It’s also where I spread the word about my vampire and werewolf writing. The first book in the Fang Chronicles: Amy’s Story is now available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble(shameless plug here). Screaming Lettuce is the latest blog post.

I’m aware most of you know me as a non-fiction writer but I love paranormal books. They take me far away from my day to day police life. I’ve been a romance book junkie for many years too. I’m sorry to disappoint if you are cringing right now. Romance makes the world go round and I heard on television recently that the brain has three basic needs; sex, food, and sleep. I think women crave romance over sex but that’s just me. Amy’s Story has romance, sex, food, and sleep so I think I covered all bases.

This leads me to my third blog "Reading and Writing One Word at a Time" I think I might have been drinking the night I started this blog. I’m not buying any more vodka. This blog needs help. My idea was to promote writers like me. If you have reviewed a great book, have a writer’s tip or just want to share something about reading or writing, I would love to have you guest post. This also keeps me from feeling guilty that I don’t have time to keep this blog going. HELP WANTED!

The picture in this post is my actual vest. We have the option of wearing under or outer body armor. Carrying items on the outside of the vest relieves pressure from my back. It also makes me look bad ass, well, not really but I can dream can’t I? I think my pink handcuffs are an extra special added touch. The Taser helps too.

Small Town is alive and well. I am one of only four officers at the moment which is exhausting. I’m spending a lot of time on patrol but that can’t be helped. If you remember, I was promoted to Sergeant but then had it taken away by our City Council. I don’t have the title but I still get the added responsibility. I’m doing great in the roll because I supervise myself. I will say my boss is great to work for. She begins every day with a smile.

I've got Fang Chronicles primed and loaded on my Kindle! Bad Luck Cadet was a blast and continues to inspire me. In everyday tough situations, I find myself thinking, what would Suzie do? Or, Suzie wouldn't let this bother her.

It works for me! :)

Yes, I'm a fan!

What an awesome thing to say! Hope you enjoy Fang. Very different because it's pure fantasy. Doing what Suzie would do, might get you into trouble, but just let me know and I'll send bail money. I don't think the average idiot would understand when you slapped pink handcuffs on them :-)

Another book?! Ah! I just started Bad Luck Cadet! I can't keep up. Also... cool! :-)

First I want to say that I LOVE your pink handcuffs and cool vest, and I really hope it helps to protect you always.

Second I want to say that I really enjoyed your post today. Very, very cool! :)

Thirdly I want to say that REALLY loved your plug-in, no shame in that. And I plan on visiting your other blogs. :)

It is also very nice to hear from you again. So there, I've said what I needed to say.

Take care of yourself, and here is a BIG virtual hug!

Wow! Suzie! How in the world do you do it all? Just trying to figure out "what to put where" in that vest would tire me out. I am thrilled to think your book is in final review...great job...last mountain is the hardest....keep on keepin' on...no time for a shrink. You could shrink a shrink! Fondly, Robin

I'm afraid I would shrink the shrink too. They would probably run from the room when I started talking sex cimes. My poor family hears the worst stories. They probably need the shrink more than I :-) You made me smile, thank you.

It's my weird side but it's bustin out and I need to stop suppressing. When people start hiding the knives and running, I'll know I succeeded:-)
