RELEASE DAY for Fragments Observed: Lessons Learned on Patrol
March 24, 2026
Global release day for print and e-book editions.
Fragments Observed: Lessons Learned on Patrol follows how one novelist’s quest to create authentic Mobile Police Department characters morphed into logging more than 150 hours of patrol time with the city’s finest. Each twelve-hour shift with MPD opened Carrie’s eyes to the depth of the issues plaguing residents across the Azalea City and how the simplest acts of kindness can change the bleakest moments.
