Lynda Sandoval is a former police officer-turned fiction
writer with fourteen book sales to her credit. She lives in
Denver with the world's coolest Cairn Terrier, Smidgey
(who is immortal--he might even be a wizard!).
Lynda writes women's fiction for HarperCollins Rayo;
romance for Silhouette Special Edition; romantic suspense
for Silhouette Intimate Moments; and young adult novels
for Simon & Schuster. She has also written for award-
winning books for Kensington Bouquet and Pinnacle
Encanto, and her popular nonfiction text published by
Gryphon Books for Writers, True Blue: An Insider's
Guide to Street Cops--For Writers, is still selling strong.
In her spare time (HA!), she works as an emergency
medical dispatcher for the fire department.
Lynda's books have won awards such as the 2000 Rising
Star, the 2002 Golden Quill, and the 2002 Beacon—all
sponsored by regional chapters of Romance Writers of
America. She was also a finalist in the 2002 Booksellers
Best, and a two-time Romance Writers of America Golden
Heart finalist prior to selling. In October 2000, Lynda was
profiled in People en Español, the Spanish language
version of People Magazine, and in August 2002, The
Sunday Denver Post book section ran a profile of Lynda
which led directly to her first sale with HarperCollins Rayo.
(Thanks, DP!) In 2004, Lynda was featured in both Writer’s
Digest magazine and Romantic Times BOOKCLUB.
When Lynda is procrastinating, she loves to quilt, hike,
garden, make jewelry, bid obsessively on eBay, and read
everything she can get her hands on.

The world of law enforcement is a subculture unto itself,
with different codes of conduct, jargon, body language, and
social mores. In True Blue, Lynda Sue Cooper answers the
question, "What's It Like?" for those of you who are
dedicated enough to the craft of fiction writing to want to
get it right. Though outsiders are not usually embraced
amongst the blue brotherhood, True Blue jimmies the door
a bit so you may gain entrance into this closed society, step
over that line, and get a feel for what it's like:
- Being a cop
-Working the streets, responding to calls, investigating
crimes
-Going through the academy and field training
-Wearing a badge, handcuffing someone, losing a case,
helping a child
-When you-know-what hits the fan out there
