Author Joseph Aloysius Wambaugh, Jr. and his wife Dee live in Rancho Mirage. Joseph was born on January 22, 1937, so he'll be turning 69 on Sunday.Happy birthday, Detective!
Wambaugh was an LAPD officer for several years before becoming a full-time writer. In fact, he was still on the force when two of his books, The New Centurions and The Blue Knight, were released. He decided to quit police work because too many people recognized him when he was on duty.
I eagerly look forward to dealing with the same problem.
