Author Interviews With The Working Writers' Coach

In 1992, Judi Ciance and her husband, Paul, moved from Worcester, Massachusetts, over the Bourne Bridge, to their home in Centerville. Paul had just retired after serving thirty years on the Worcester Police Department. The tables turned. He retired from the Criminal Justice System and Judi became a part of it. For the next eleven years, Ciance held various positions in the Barnstable County Court System and the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office. She eventually achieved the position of Assistant Deputy Superintendent. That, and her life with a police officer, unleashed her imagination and led her to create the character, Casey Quinby.
