That’s Z as in Zed! Zed, I tell ya!
Okay, it’s Z as in Zee. Seeing as the instructor is American, I’ll give her the Zee.
During September, as part of my research for the WIP, I had the pleasure of taking Kathy Bennett’s on-line class, A Cop’s Life A to Z, put on by the RWA Kiss of Death chapter.
What an excellent class! As well as being a writer, Kathy is a cop with the LAPD. As it so happens, the hero of my WIP is an ex-cop with the LAPD, so I had to take this class and I recommend it most heartily. I have enough emails printed out to fill a binder (which I will do, you know, when the moon turns green), and I gained great insight into several aspects of a cop’s life.
If you’re a member of Kiss of Death and you considered taking Kathy’s class and didn’t, next time she offers it, sign up. I can’t see how you could be disappointed.
P.S. Kathy has a blog on her new website, too.
Good for you! A writer friend is taking classes with the Milwaukee police, and she’s having a blast. She said she’s getting a ton of ideas. 🙂
Now that would be cool, taking real “live” classes.
I don’t write mystery/suspense myself, but I have friends who do – will pass on the recommendation 🙂
Thanks, Teresa!
