"The American Trucker"  -  COMING VERY SOON!

This is a sequel to "Truckers and Troopers," as heard discussed on the "Dave Nemo" trucking show on XM Radio.  Jim knew he had only brushed the surface of heroic and selfless stories about big rig drivers and all they do and started immediately on this sequel. 

These pages will confirm for drivers what they already know about one another and will educate
the public as to the professional drivers with whom they share the road. 

Out very soon - check back often!  Available on all on-line bookstores and here of course, where Jim will sign your copy!

The Badge - Thoughts From a State Trooper

Jim's first book.  The most requested essays and articles from his ongoing and award winning column, offering the general public a look into the sometimes maddening, emotional, painful, hilarious and often heartbreaking world of law enforcement. To see how it all began with Jim's very popular newspaper column, read this one.

Reader Comments:

"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your commentaries every week! I have several friends who are law enforcement officials. We have spent much time reminiscing together. I don't think you folks are paid nearly enough for what you do!! A Great Big "Thanks" to you!! I have been a nurse for 20+ years. Lots of things happen in that amount of time huh?   Good luck!  I look forward to next week!" - Patty Neiters

"I read your column regularly with a special fondness and elevated level of respect. In my estimation, your fellow officers be they city, county or state are unique in their willingness to not only protect and serve but also to place themselves in danger and uncertain circumstances. They undergo training and evaluations most of us could never endure so that most citizens need not do so and we can enjoy life with confidence and greater security. I can only approach your angst at remembering the horror of finding children as victims of the stupidity of adults. I hope more folks learn that cops also have hearts and all hearts, are breakable. Thank you for exposing yours." -  Ken Frank

"Hello I have been reading your column since you began writing. I have often thought I should write and let you know how much they mean to me. My son has just finished college and obtained his degree in law enforcement. He is currently looking for employment in the police field. Your columns have given my husband and I a look at this field through the eyes of an experienced officer. They have also given us insight into ways we can provide support to our son and help him once he achieves his goal of becoming an officer. We have laughed at the funny stories and shed tears over the sad and moving ones. I plan to save this week's column for my son and hope that he will use it as words to live by as he pursues his life ambition. Keep writing!" - Ann Carothers

Cops and Kids - A Very Special Friendship 
Jim's latest is a heartwarming and sometimes heart-wrenching collection of Jim's most popular short essays, columns and articles about his love of the children he met on the job.  He even includes some of his wife, his own kids and even his beloved dogs; Jed, Bosco and Tank. If you support law and order and you love kids, you've got to buy this book and keep it close at hand!  A warm and friendly read for the entire family.

Reader Comments:

"I am a police Officer from Orange, Orange County California (Disneyland). I received your book as a Christmas present last year and read it immediately.  I loved it. It is one of those books that I pick up now and then and re-read. I just wanted to say thanks. The book is a great motivational tool. Sometimes when the job starts getting to you something in the book jumps out and puts things back in perspective. I have been doing this job for twenty years and it is the best job in the world."  Ken Adams, Motor Officer, Orange, CA  Police Dept.

"If ever you are looking for a gift for someone in law enforcement...Look No Further. My son is a deputy in San Bernardino County, California. As a birthday gift he received Mr. Geeting's books and has enjoyed them tremendously. Obviously, you need not live in Wyoming (or be in law enforcement) to relate to Mr. Geeting's writing and recounting of experiences. The writing is engaging and the experiences run the gamut of everyday people who are sometimes involved in extraordinary situations. If you are a fan of the Fox TV show "COPS" or "America's Most Wanted" you will enjoy Geeting's books."  Elizabeth Cox, Author, San Bernardino Mountains, CA

"The chapter,
"The Eyes of a Child" was a beautiful rendition of what you see and what a child sees, while you are trying to maintain peace.  It brought tears to my eyes." Julie Torrez, Cheyenne, WY

"I just ordered my copy!  The sample chapters brought a tear to my eye.  Thanks for the fatherly advice!"  Len Stein Meier, Crestview, FL
"Love your stuff about the children you have met.  Keep it up!
Lauren Andersen, Casper, WY
"Your words about children are always right on and grab my heart every time."  Mark Jassell, Knoxville, TN
"I share your children's articles with my entire family and they love them all.  Good job!"  Ginger Engstrom, Las Vegas, NV

Reader Comments:

"The sacrifice you and your colleagues have afforded us (the citizens of this great nation and country), we as a people are indebted to you as well as the family members who stood beside you. Knowing you felt pain beyond recognition, but also could not talk about. Being the ex-wife of a G.R.P.D, I do understand some of what Mrs. Geeting and your children have been through along with you! Once again, I Thank-You!- Deb Alvarez

"I wish you continued success in your writings and pray God's Blessing on you and your family!" - Rod Warne

"Good morning. I wanted to write and tell you how much I appreciate and enjoy the book.  Thanks for your time and talent, keep up the good work and share the wealth of your knowledge with those of us still "new" to the badge. Thank you" Toby Terrell Sublette County Sheriffs Office, Pinedale, Wyoming

Dear Mr. Geeting,
"Greetings from New Zealand!  I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I enjoyed your books "The Badge" parts 1 and 2.  I am an avid reader of books generally and law enforcement books specifically and I can say without a doubt these books are right up there with the best I have ever read.  What a wonderful mix of humor, excitement, courage, honesty, and humility. While many people I am sure would read this type of book for the "action" stories, for me the stories that touched me the most were the ones where you clearly opened your heart and laid it all on the line - truly inspirational!  I will now be ordering the rest of your books as I am sure I will enjoy them just as much!  I think the books made such an impression on me because of my personal circumstances"  Brad Dannerfaerd, New Plymouth, New Zealand

Shots Fired Shots Forgiven - The Steve Watt Story 
This is the true and dramatic story of Steve Watt, a Wyoming born and raised ranch kid who dreamed of becoming a state trooper.  When he did, his dream soon became a nightmare from which Trooper Watt would rise from the depths of suicidal despair, to community leadership, state political office and advocacy for human forgiveness and restorative justice.  A must read for all who want to know the triumph of good over evil.

Reader Comments:

 "I have just finished reading your book (Shots Fired, Shots Forgiven), and am, now, even more than ever, proud to called Steve "friend". Your book moved me in several ways. I thought I knew a lot about Steve's courage, but there was so much more that I didn't know. Your book has shown me that Steve is so much more than a friend. Steve's actions can considered to be no less than heroic, and he IS a hero in my eyes. At the risk of sounding like I am trying to sensationalize this, I love him for it. My wife, children and I have always looked up to Steve, but I do so now more than ever. Thank you for spreading Steve's word and. for allowing me a glimpse into Steve's past." - Andy Allen

"Just finished reading Shots Fired Shot Forgiven tonight. I finally got around to ordering it and the book arrived yesterday. I started reading it yesterday afternoon and had to put it down at the last minute before going to my church board meeting. I got back into it after work today and finished it tonight. OUTSTANDING BOOK! This book is a must for all, especially Wyoming law officers. I will be talking it up and encouraging others to order and read." - Rod Warne

 "Jim, Just thought I would drop you a line and let you know how much I enjoyed reading "Shots fired, Shots Forgiven." I was very pleased with the way you handled my small part in this, and I must say you are very intuitive. It took a cop to write this story and I'm glad you did it. I have spent the last twenty two years trying to hide from Steve and the events of that day, but the book finally put into perspective in a real way the hand of God in what occurred.  Jim you have a very smooth style of writing that I much admire, over night you have become my favorite author. Keep it up ! Thanks for helping me put this nightmare to rest." - Tracy Self
