Patrick O'Donnell

After twenty-five years on the job as a sergeant in the Milwaukee Police Department, Patrick 'The Sarge' O'Donnell has created a community for cops and writers. What started as a glorified PDF on how to buy cars, ended up as the next stage in life for O'Donnell. He's turned his passion for writing into a group that helps other aspiring crime writers. In the process, his new series called 'Brew City Blues' has officially hit the shelves. The first in the series - Field Training - is available HERE exclusively on Amazon.

Today we have a very special episode for all of you. British Police Sergeant Ralph Kern Interviews American Law Enforcement Officers Adam Richardson And Patrick O'Donnell!As mentioned, on today’s show, we have two of the most esteemed guests this show has ever had. We’re going to chat with Patrick O’Donnell and B Adam Richardson, the founder of the Cops and Writers Facebook group, along with the books of the same name, and B Adam Richardson, creator of the Writer’s detective School and The Writers Detective Bureau Podcast and Facebook group.These are the go-to resources that anyone who wants to write a cop thriller should use. Even those of us who are cops trying our hand at writing should view them as an invaluable resource for articulating our real-world experiences to the page. For those who are a little confused about the role reversal here, when chatting during and after my own show, I realized how fascinating a career and life Patrick and Adam have had and how many questions I had for them. And I can’t be the only one in the group who feels like that. It would, pun slightly intended, be a crime not to get that out there for you Cops and Writers. First, can I just express the writing community’s thanks for the sheer amount of time and effort you gentlemen put in? The work you do is simply amazing.On today's show we discuss:Who are Patrick and Adam?Tell us about your upbringing. When did that first spark an interest in the Police?

What an incredible opportunity it was to have Patrick on the show today.  He is a historian, public speaker, and bestselling author of 12 books and scores of films and documentaries spanning the American Revolution to the Battle of Fallujah. He is a leading expert on America’s elite and special operations units. His latest book, The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington Across the Delawareis a must read for every American. This book details how special our revolutionary patriots were, where our ideas of freedom and liberty originated, and the real sacrifices they made to win. There is so much more to the revolutionary war than throwing tea overboard and Washington crossing the Delaware River and winning! So So much more. We were able to discuss many parts of his new book plus one of his others "We Were One" about the Marines who fought in Fallujah, Iraq. The common theme he agrees with is the "will" of the American warrior has always been different than everyone else's.

Patrick O'Donnell - American heroes since the Revolution. by John Catsimatidis

As divided as we are today about the state of our current politics and the debate about facts, it seems that at least we should be able to agree about our shared history. And yet even that is debated today. When did America begin? Who gets credit, and how did it shape us?  Patrick O’Donnell is one of our most distinguished military historians and he always trying to answer these questions.  He is author of twelve books, including The Unknowns and Washington’s Immortals. and served as a combat historian in a Marine rifle platoon during the Battle of Fallujah and has dedicated himself to understanding the truth about our history, particularly our military history, and it’s importance in helping us better understand who we really are and where we come from. His latest is The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware  My conversation with Patrick O'Donnell:
