The new media jaded the public’s views of law enforcement across the country. Granted, police work is not always pretty, but with over 200,000 law enforcement officers having an average of ten contacts per day (and many with more), the views that are being presented are not fair and balanced. That is not law enforcement in the majority of communities. Readers can still get excited about a cop thriller and the suspense of cases without being dragged into the abyss of brutality, racism and antagonizm or even excessive force.
On May 28, 2022, Barnes & Noble in San Tan Village, AZ, hosted a book signing for J. C. De Ladurantey and the release of AVAILABLE TIME. In just three hours, it became the largest book signing in the history of their store! COWARDS, CROOKS, AND WARRIORS, and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES sold out, and autographs were in demand for AVAILABLE TIME.
Thanks to all who showed up or stopped by. More book signings in AZ are planned, so look for them at your local Barnes & Noble.
