The Graveyard Shift

The blog I’m highlighting this week is The Graveyard Shift by Lee Lofland.

If you write (or love to read) crime novels – and that includes mysteries, true crime, police procedurals, suspense, etc. – this is a blog worth bookmarking.

Lofland, a veteran police investigator, is the author of the Writers Digest book, Police Procedure & Investigation. He began his career in law enforcement as an officer, then became a sheriff’s deputy, a patrol officer and eventually earned his gold shield as a detective. He went on to become a police academy instructor and an instructor trainer.

He now uses his knowledge to write books and consult with other writers. He’s also a popular speaker and blogger.

On his blog The Graveyard Shift, he covers a lot of topics, from police procedures, tools and equipment to prisons and investigations. This blog is well worth bookmarking.


REMINDER: You have until noon tomorrow (Saturday, the 5th) to enter the drawing for a free copy of author Susan Wittig Albert’s book Nightshade.
