Hello and welcome to Gary J Rose - Author webpage. For fifteen years I was employed as a police sergeant with the Milpitas Police Department in California. During my time as a law enforcement officer, I was fortunate to be selected as one of the first hostage negotiators in the state. Trained by Dr. Harvey Schlossberg (retire NYPD), I became fascinated with the field of psychology, yet did not see myself as a therapist. Retirement forced a career change to the field of education. For twenty-five years, I had the opportunity to teach at-risk incarcerated students in a juvenile detention facility as well as our county jails. From this experience I was motivated to complete my doctorate in psychology and created my first book, Towards the Integration of Police Psychology Techniques Combined with the Socio-ecological Psychology Model to Combat Juvenile Delinquency in our K-12 Classrooms. While teaching my at-risk students, I challenged them to write weekly in their journals, promising that I would get their words published in hopes of helping other youth turn their lives around. This novel, Hitting Rock Bottom, became a best seller on Amazon. I then began writing fictional books starting with Ark of the Covenant where I introduced FBI Special Agent Jeannie Loomis,a flawed but dedicated law enforcement officer who believes that sometimes the ends justify the means. The series current stands at seven novels in the series, with number eight, Black Heart/Black Cell due for release in August 2022. Like all authors, I love reviews and deeply appreciate them.
