He is a senior police officer in charge of the Patrol Branch at Eastern Division but Superintendent Edward Broaster still has time to write. First it was poetry but today he launched a book of short stories. The stories have the currency of a news report and the juiciness of a good "shush" and it's all about what many may say is a national past-time: he calls them lawful affairs.
Keith Swift Reporting,
The book is titled "All About Lawful Affairs" and Broaster says it is 20 short stories based loosely on his personal experiences.
Edward Broaster,
"Basically about experiences I have had not only in Belize but throughout my traveling experiences and this book confronts issues that are among us affecting our community and like Karen says, when you pick up the book you will find that most of the stories are enjoyable, they are short, and they are to the point."
Broaster says he has pulled no punches - this is a tell all book and he will be stepping on toes. He makes no apologies for that.
Edward Broaster,
"From a male's point of view I believe I've shared with the women a lot of men's tricks and the excuses men use to get out of their homes and to get out there to do their promiscuity and stuff like that and that's basically from what I've seen."
This Superintendent of Police says the shock value of the lurid escapades he writes about is simply priceless.
Edward Broaster,
It is very informative and very interesting. I believe it will be an eye opener for a lot of people."
The public launch is tomorrow at the Princess Hotel. It will be available widely for 20 dollars a copy. Broaster is already working on his next book titled: "Creating crooked cops."
