I finally finished my first "fictional novel" about a young man raised in East Los Angeles and his adventures entering the LAPD academy and "growing up on the job" ... I hope you like it and remember ... "It's fiction"

Just got home from presenting at the MGIA - Wisconsin Chapter Fall Gang Conference and when I was done, they gave me a great gift ... a Green Bay Packer jersey with the name "PACMAN" on the back and the number"13" because I am from So Cal. Love you people ... thank you !

Bless you and keep up the cause ...๐โค๏ธ
