Me and Stephen King

Who would ever imagine my name would be on a list of books with Stephen King. But then here we are.

Policing Matters has me on the list along with King’s book, On Writing, among a dozen reads for book clubs and for pleasure. So flattering. I highly recommend King’s book by the way.

Policing Matters Podcaster Jim Dudley and his fellow podcaster, Christopher Littrell, gave the nod to Stop the Killing: How to End Mass Shooting Crisis or STK as insiders call it. We are all better off reading books, they said, whether to expand our knowledge learn or just to relax.

When I started this odyssey during the pandemic I offered to Zoom into book clubs reading my book. That offer still stands. Just fill out an inquiry on the Speaking tab at the top of my web site, KatherineSchweit.com.
