My father-in-law who is a retired sheriff says they are the best procedural crime dramas he's read. They portray the inner workings and politics within law enforcement departments in realistic terms. Not the Hollywood version of police work.(less)

The Paradoxical Commandments

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.”

Karen Malena Hello Catherine! Very nice to meet you in here!


message 2: by Anita

Anita Dresden Hey Catherine I really liked the sound of Unravelled. Thank you for sharing your comments on it. I will put it on my to read list- only thing is, like all writers I have to divide my time between family, friends reading and writing. I rarely get to spend as much time as I'd like on either. Catch you later!
