In 2006, I decided to write this book about a woman, a police officer who has a case that haunts her. She’s trying to find a missing teenager. At the time I started writing the story, I hadn’t envisioned a serial set of chapbooks. I thought my story would be about a NYPD lieutenant and her partner searching the countryside in the hope of finding a female runaway alive and unhurt.
I decided to make another one of my characters ambitious ADA, Althea Cosmo. She meets Lieutenant Parker when she’s called away from a date to handle Sunny’s case which soon becomes a murder case upon Sunny’s death. Sunny’s murder case branches off into an assault case against the lieutenant when she loses her mind and tries to beat Jack Donaldson to death with her fists. While arresting the lieutenant, two deputies injure Lauren far worse than what she does to Donaldson.
By the time the lieutenant’s broken bones heal, she’s lost her pride, her gun, her badge and the 17-year job she loves so much. She’s spent the past 12 months under house arrest at Althea’s place. She’s been sentenced to perform community service and attended anger management classes. She’s paid Jack Donaldson medical bills. On the bright side she’s developed somewhat of a romantic relationship with Althea; deep affection for her dog Eddie and the old man Lucas Daily, her next-door neighbor.
When Lauren hears Taylor Cobb ran way, she decides she must find her. Reggie joins her. Their search for Taylor begins in upstate New York in her hometown of Lorraine. The search takes them along the I-95 corridor of New York and New Jersey, heading
southwest and ends in New Mexico. Along the way, the officers undergo as many changes as the victims.
By the time I finished writing this story, I had written four serials. I named the chapbooks after a main characters in each story. The result is Chapbook2: Lauren’s Quartet of Love, Althea. I do hope you like the results.
Lauren’s Quartet of Love: ChapBook2, Althea is available for pre-order 3/16/22 on Kindle and Smashwords. The release date is 4/02/22.
