Well after a short hiatus to become a dad my thoughts are now 100% focussed on the police short stories book. The good news is I've got a publisher interested in it, the bad news is I need about another 40 stories before I can finish it.
So as ever any submissions you can make will be very much appreciated. Please feel free to spread the word as it would be great to finish it by the end of the year. I'm afraid I can't offer any sort of reward aside from my genuine thanks and the possibility of seeing your words in print!

Thanks again to everyone who has made a submission, the book is now beginning to take shape and is about half finished. It promises to be an amazing read.
Without wishing to sound like a broken record if you are able to put a few words together it would be greatly appreciated. I've set up a Facebook group to prove I am a real person and not someone hiding behind a keyboard.

A Quick Update...
Many thanks to those of you who have submitted your short stories, I'm extremely grateful for all your contributions. I'm aiming to get 100 but am still some way off that target, so please keep them coming.
I'm anticipating dividing the book into the following chapters:
Heroic stories
Inspired policing
Harsh Realities
Gruesome stories
Controversial stories
Funny stories
Lists and Misc.
If you would like to see your words in print (anonymously) but haven't sent me anything yet please do so.

Welcome to my blog!
Inspired by the weird, wonderful and worrying stories two of my copper mates regularly regale, I am putting together a book of true stories written by serving police officers.
The response so far has been amazing and a huge thank you to everyone who has made a submission. But the book is far from finished and I am still looking for contributions on any subject, be it heroic, funny, controversial, gruesome etc.
The book is neither meant to act as a promotional police tool, nor undermine the efforts of the British bobby, but provide a snapshot of the scenes and situations the modern copper encounters and deals with.
As a guide submissions to date have been approx 300-400 words (but can be longer or shorter).
Alas I cannot offer payment or any other inducement for assistance but hopefully seeing your story in print will prove incentive enough to contribute!
For more information or to send a story please email me. My deadline is end March.
