Logan County Author Touts New Book

A retired police officer from the Lincoln Police Department has taken up writing since his days in law enforcement, and on this 19th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, his fourth book is now available.

 

Tom Brewster on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday told Regional Radio News, his latest adventure book, 'The Road to Floradixie' follows the adventures of a retired former athlete who lost his wife in the September 11 attacks and while visiting the 9/11 Memorial is approached about joining an underground terrorist-fighting coalition.

 

 

According to Brewster, his main character brings along a group of retired law enforcement officers that are itching to return to police work. They end up pursuing an individual who is on a reward poster and find a human trafficking ring organized by a man in the midwest.

 

 

While the story focuses primarily on the one objective of the men pursuing the human trafficking ring, Brewster indicates the organization they are involved in is very successful and is recognized by federal authorities as to the things they are accomplishing. 

 

 

Around two years ago, Brewster began 'The Road to Floradixie'. While some publishers did not take up his book, one did, however, he thought because he missed an original email from them, perhaps his chances at having it published were dashed. But a stroke of luck came his way....

 

 

Brewster indicates many of his stories revolve around retired police officers as he can easily relate to them. He indicates his inspiration for 'The Road to Floradixie' came from listening to the news and hearing about some of the things the federal government is doing for 9/11 victims' families. 

 

 

'The Road to Floradixie' is available today (Friday) on Amazon Audible and wherever books are sold.
