Editors Liz Martinez DeFranco, Marilyn Olsen and Keith Bettinger are successful police magazine writers and editors, and all three have books of their own scheduled for publication early in the new millenium.

Review:

Cop Tales 2000 is the real deal. The voices and the lives of real cops--sometimes funny, sometimes dark, often adrenaline-drenched and always full of hard-won knowledge--shine from these pages. Real cops--and real writers, too. -- SJ Rozan, author of Stone Quarry

During my 35 years in law enforcement, I have often said that if you could be so fortunate as to be exposed to police officers and the tales they could and would tell if given the opportunity, you would be in the presence of potential literary magnificence, if not Pulitzer material.

Cop Tales 2000 has made me a prophet. The intelligence, humor and litereary ability of these writers displayed so brilliantly by the publishers has made be proud to be a part of both professions. -- Joe Coffey, author of The Vatican Connection, Winner of the 1982 Edgar Allen Poe Award, and The Coffey Files, 1992 Edgar Allen Poe Award Nominee
