Department: Evansville PD Location: Evansville, , Comments: Dom, I just found out today that my first fictin book is being put in for a 2010 Edgar Award for Best First Novel. Pretty exciting stuff. I'm working on the sequel to that book now and have a deadline of Oct 2010 to submit it. This was all made possible by your introducing me to the technique of negotiation. If I didn't have your training I would never have gotten a serial killer to confess, and my books would never have been written. I will mention you in my dedication page if you don't mind. The title of the book coming out in October 2010 is The Cruelest Cut. The one that will come out in Oct 2011 is Killer Headlines. The book I currently have published is "Blood Trail" and is the story of a real serial killer. These are all published by Kensington Books in Manhattan. I hope everyone that reads this will take your words of wisdom to heart. There are many more applications of negotiation than just for law enforcement. It has changed my world. Thank you again and Merry Christmas Dom. Rick Reed Evansville Indiana
