A Review of Recent Author Appearances

Author Daniel P. Smith poses with Donna Marquez, current president of Gold Star Families, at the Shamrock Shuffle Health and Fitness Expo at Chicago's Navy Pier.

Daniel P. Smith, author of On the Job: Behind the Stars of the Chicago Police Department, made a pair of recent appearances, each of which added to the increasing buzz surrounding the project.

On March 28-9, Smith appeared at the Shamrock Shuffle Health and Fitness Expo alongside the Chicago Police Running Club. Signing copies of the book and donating a portion of all sales to the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, Smith found a captive audience in the thousands who wandered the Navy Pier hall.



On Tuesday, April 8, Smith trekked to the Prairie Trails Library in southwest suburban Burbank for a discussion of On the Job. Much thanks to library staffer Mary Jane O'Brien for the invitation and the many guests who endured rainy weather to attend the program.
