So Thursday I finally hauled myself off to my RWA chapter's monthly meeting. It's been a long time -- the summer break, then scheduling conflicts, conspired to keep me away. But I made it last night, and man I'm glad I did.
We had an experts panel, and let me tell you, it completely blew me away. In one room, we had:
A female patrol officer
A homicide detective
An EMT/firefighter
A former Ranger/Green Beret
and
A former pro bull rider/Marine sniper
I don't think I stopped taking notes all evening. My hand's still a little cramped up. It was AMAZING.
This is one of many, many reasons I love my RWA chapter.
And don't be surprised to find some heroes/heroines in these professions in my books sometime in the future. :)

Wow, that sounds fabulous Kate! How exciting to learn all that stuff, especially since so many authors use these characters in their books. Very cool indeed.
It sure was, Stacy! I was especially excited because I've got a bullrider story percolating and I was able to corner the guy and ask some plot-related questions that'll make writing this novella SOOOO much easier.
