520    Tim Cotton has been a police officer for more than thirty 
       years. The writer in him has always been drawn to the 
       stories of the people he has met along the way. Dealing 
       with the standard issue ne'er-do-wells as a patrol officer,
       homicide detective, polygraph examiner, and later as the 
       lieutenant in charge of the criminal investigation 
       division certainly provides an interesting backdrop--but 
       more often he writes about the regular folks he encounters,
       people who need his help, or those who just want to share 
       a joke or even a sad story. These are stories about the 
       people, place, and things of Maine. There are sad stories,
       big events, and even the very mundane, all told from the 
       perspective of a seasonded police officer and in the wry 
       voice of a lifelone Mainer. many of the stories will leave
       you chuckling, some will bring tears to your eyes, but all
       will give you a profound sense of hope and positivity.
