Author: Joe Broadmeadow

Joe Broadmeadow retired with the rank of Captain from the East Providence Police Department after 20 years of service—experiences that now fuel his crime fiction and true crime narratives. He has authored several novels including Collision Course, Silenced Justice, Saving the Last Dragon, and A Change of Hate, all available on Amazon in print and Kindle formats. Currently, Broadmeadow is crafting the latest installment in his Josh Williams and Harrison "Hawk" Bennett series while developing a sequel to Saving the Last Dragon. Beyond his fiction work, he has written several best-selling non-fiction books exploring Organized Crime and related subjects, available at his Amazon author page. In 2014, Broadmeadow completed a 2,185-mile thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail—a journey that continues to inform his storytelling and character development.

    Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore: Seeking a Return to the Dark Ages

    I wrote this last year about “Judge” Roy ‘get ’em while they’re young” Moore.  If a Supreme Court Justice can’t follow federal law, how can he represent Alabama in the Senate? This is just one aspect of a troubled, character-flawed,…
