Author of Gabriel's Solo, A.M. Hurst brings something new for readers with her latest work in storytelling. Having graduated Magna Cum Laude from Jacksonville State University with a degree in Criminal Justice and working in law enforcement before going to work with Child and Family Protection Services prior to publishing her first novel, she felt led to concentrate her efforts on something more personal with The Friendly City. Seeing public support plummet in recent years and sensing a lack of awareness, she combines an inside perspective with her creative writing style, seeking to illuminate the reality of life and loss experienced behind the blue line.
