Police-Writers.com adds the 87th Police Author

August 13, 2006 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to police officers turned authors, has added its 87th police author, Frank Zafiro. In 1985 Frank Zafiro joined the United States Army, serving until 1991. While in the Army, Frank worked in Military Intelligence. In 1993, he joined the Spokane Police Department, where he has worked as a patrol officer, corporal, detective and sergeant. In 1996, while a police officer, he went to college and ultimately earned a BA in history.

A life-long writer, Frank has written many short stories and completed five novels. His first published novel, Under a Raging Moon, was released in June 2006. In that novel, Zafiro has created a gritty, realistic world out of his own years of experience in law enforcement. In Under a Raging Moon, a serial gunman plagues River City, a fictional city of about 250,000 people located in Northeast Washington State. As the gunman becomes increasingly dangerous and violent the police are hampered by internal politics and the hand of fate. Frank adds tension and humanity to the work as we see the police struggling to capture the gunman while working through their own personal demons and crises.

Many of Frank Zafiro’s stories and novels take place in River City and focus on members of the police department. As the short stories and novels follow the threads of different lives and events, the reader experiences the richness and complexity of mid-size, middle class city, it people, crime and protectors.
