: About Me

I was born and raised in Phoenix Arizona. Yes, i know it's a dry heat. I am a single parent of three children and have two grandsons. My pen name is 918Gma. It's a long story, but anyone in the law enforcement profession should be able to figure it out. One of my children is handicapped. A lot of what I will write about refers to my experiences in that area. I am also a retired Detention Officer, with 20 years of experience working in the Jail. I have a lot to write about there as well.
