The World's Most Educated Cop

Mr. Rajub has branched out from his position as a police officer to that of a lecturer in order to influence the lives of pupils. 34-year-old Bangladeshi American actor, model, teacher, and lyricist Rajub Bhowmik is a police sergeant in the New York City Police Department and has earned a total of ten academic degrees. 

His breadth of education makes Mr. Rajub the most educated police officer on the planet. Not merely the accumulation of a vast varied collection of degrees, but the excellence with which her pursued them set him apart.

Dr. Rajub Bhowmik, an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Law and Police Science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice of the City University of New York, has worked in the department for ten years. Online records reveal that he also teaches in the psychology department at Iona University in New York.

Dr. Bhowmik was unavailable for comment, but according to people familiar with his family, he and his family emigrated from Bangladesh to the United States when he was just 15 years old. With a total of ten college degrees, four master's degrees, and four doctoral degrees by the time he was about 19 years old, Dr. Rajub is among the most educated people on the planet. He holds master's degrees in criminal justice, psychology, curriculum and instructional technology, and homeland security. He also holds master's degrees in national security and homeland security. In addition, Dr. Rajub has earned a Ph.D. in forensic psychology, an Ed.D. in leadership education, a DBA in business administration, and a doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD).

Achieving excellence in four doctorates in four distinct subjects is a feat in and of itself, but his motivation to improve people's lives was the primary factor behind developing additional roles and educating himself as much as humanly possibly.

Mr. Rajub has added onto his position as a police officer as a lecturer in order to assist in influencing the lives of pupils and has seen much success with that endeavor.

Additionally, Mr. Bhowmik is dedicated to his work as a poet above all else. This has evolved into a tool for communicating with lots of individuals. According to the Asian Age, he has produced more than 500 sonnets, many of them are about politics, nature, the afterlife, philosophy, and love. Additionally, Mr. Bhowmik has written and published over 20 books in other languages, including works of study, poetry, romance, and thrillers.

He is not only a well-known poet but also the creator of the brand-new Ayna Sangeet style of Bangladeshi music. His popular Ayna sangeet, also known as mirror music, is composed of merely 60 letters and has a maximum of six lines each song, with each line consisting of roughly ten characters. In addition, he is the creator of the Ayna Sonnet, a fourteen-line poem with fourteen letters per line. His most well-known Ayna sonnets include "Ghoriber Janmo," which translates to "The Birth of the Poor," and "Noyoner Asha," which means "Hope in the Eyes."

Dr. Rajub Bhowmik is capable professor, and student reviews posted online demonstrate how he has a significant impact on them and that they value his lectures. Mr. Rajub Bhowmik is a guy of many skills, holding positions as a police sergeant, an amazing author, a dedicated educator, and an actor. But above all things, he is profoundly altering South East Asian civilization.

About JO BUNT

Jo Bunt was born in Cyprus to British parents. It made sense to her that her first novel should be based there.

Following the family's return to England Jo went to school in Nottingham, university in Hull and then worked in London as a Recruitment Consultant for PwC for many years. Following a family illness Jo moved to Derbyshire where she now lives with her husband and her twin sons. This has enabled her to focus on her two great loves in life; her family and her writing.

She remembers writing her first 'novel' when she was seven but spent her angst-ridden teenage years writing miserable and dark poetry. She mostly writes mainstream fiction but is also working on a series of children's adventure books, largely guided by her own children. When she is not writing or looking after the children Jo is an avid reader and self-confessed food snob. If she can combine the two she is a very happy lady indeed.

Interview: Hilarious Comedic Author DCJ Wardle on Trading Vincent Crow

Pubshelf.com was kind enough to grant me an interview with up and coming author D.C.J. Wardle.  Wardle has written a comedy that is really striking a chord with the British funny bone. While receiving rave reviews in the UK, American audiences are really latching on and have been giving his novel an average rating of 4.5 stars out of a possible 5.

His novel, Trading Vincent Crow, is the hilarious tale of a man who decides to better his position every three months, without fail.  This means trading up for a better job, a better lady friend, better - everything.

An amusing take on one man's ambition, Wardle weaves a tale that is both cautionary and brings out the laughs.  You can get his book here:

Here is my interview with Mr. Wardle:

1) What is your inspiration?

The idea of trading-up Vincent’s life for a better one is loosely based around the experience of a man on e-bay who traded a giant paperclip online, and after many more trades got himself a house. I expanded this idea so that Vince has to trade-up his entire life every few months, not just the job, but the clothes, the house, girlfriend, car, everything.

A lot of the socially-challenged elements that make up Vince’s character I’m sure came from my own experiences entering adulthood where I was absolutely hopeless when it came to talking to people I didn’t know or exuding self-confidence. I believe with age I’ve got a lot better in this regard, as I’m sure most people do, but I think this vulnerability is what makes Vince’s character fairly accessible to many readers.

At times the sub-plots draw vaguely on some of my own experiences. For example, Vince starts off as a washer-upper in a suburban pub. My own formative years saw me employed part time in a number of pub kitchens devoting my evenings to the contents of industrial-sized sinks.

2) Who is your favorite author and why?

Some of my favourite books are from the Jeeves and Wooster series by P.G.Wodehouse. I also enjoyed some of Gerald Durrell’s books as he has a pleasant way of being entertained by peoples’ (and animals’) eccentricities without judging them. However, I am interested in a wide and varied range of book styles. Through my travels and work abroad I’ve had the pleasure of delving into whatever books previous travelers have abandoned to lighten the load of their backpacks, and with it the chance to experience a range of authors I wouldn’t otherwise have encountered.

3) Who would you say your writing style is most influenced by?

My joy of the dialogue in some of P.G.Wodehouse’s books have inspired me to dabble with the dialogue in trading Vincent Crow, all though I think my style is actually quite different.

Beyond the literary, my sense of how to express or tell a story will have been influenced by a range of media. For example, I am a fan of the radio panel game Just a minute and am in awe at the linguistic abilities of the contestants to weave their witty monologues on the spur of the moment. Similarly, comedians such as Vic Reeves who delight in the use of language as they deliver their jokes have probably been equally influential.

4) Tell us about your book in under 140 characters; Twitter pitch.

Vince Crow decides to trade his life for a new one: job, girl, wheels, pad, threads, until he’s a success -witty, satirical, British humour

5) What are your future plans?

I am just starting the publishing process for the sequel to Trading Vincent Crow called Vincent Crow: Export. This time I’ve extracted Vince from his natural habitat in UK suburbia and scooted him off to the depths of Asia to set up a new business venture. As is the case with Vince, mayhem and catastrophe are never too far behind. I’ve really enjoyed writing this book as the lead characters and their intricate quirks are now well established. It’s been a fantastic opportunity to bring out the joys of the rhetorical conversation between Vince and his nan. In addition, with the book set in Asia, anyone who has experienced the joy of traveling in Asia, and particularly the delights of working within Asian cultures may find an extra level in which to wallow nostalgically.

Joe Conlan: Review of Nameless

Nameless was brought to my attention by the fine folks over at pubshelf.com.  Pubshelf is really a place where the indie author gets a fair shake and I am proud to be thought of by their organization. Finding fresh new voices in the world of books can be challenging, especially ones of quality, but pubshelf's recommendations are on the top of my totem pole when it comes to taking a look at a new writer.

Two cups of coffee with author Nicholas Denmon and I was turned on to a book that would literally give me nightmares.  Thanks? I guess? 

It is a tremendous debut novel, the likes of which I haven't read since I read For Nothing, by the aforementioned coffee drinker.   

What can you expect in Joe Conlan's Nameless?  You can expect a serial killer with a depth of depravity that is reminiscent of John Doe in Se7en.  You can expect your skin to crawl.  You can expect to read the book in about two sittings while you miss a meal or two. You can expect twists and turns, in plot as well as your stomach.  In short, be ready for the ride and buckle up.

Nameless by Joe Conlan

"Chilling and taut, NAMELESS, introduces a fresh and exciting twist on the deadly game of cat and mouse. By virtue of one impulsive and deeply human, but all too grave mistake, a good and decent man finds himself pitted against the embodiment of evil and threatened with losing everything and everyone he loves and values; including the pristine reputation he has endeavored all his adult life to establish.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel Falcone unwittingly steps onto course for a head-on collision with a frighteningly brilliant psychotic serial killer, whose harrowing childhood abuse and neglect left him devoid of humanity and salivating for revenge. Framed for a brutal murder on a commercial cruise ship, and fighting for the right to raise his sons and clear his name, Falcone races against the clock and struggles to keep his eyes on the prize, even while his profound guilt and self-loathing threaten to destroy him faster than his maniacal adversary."

If all of that isn't enough...

Amazon has 5 stars as the review average with 68 reviews in the US.

In the UK?

4 stars with 780 reviews.

I think it's worth a shot at $0.99 and I think it's worth a shot as it was recommended by the professionals at pubshelf as well as hundreds of peer reviews.

Indie Scene Picks Up Steam

I have been listening to the twangs of indie concerns about being gobbled up by the vast number of books that are published on Amazon. The thought is that there are too many books to get noticed, too many lesser quality books are taking up too much shelf space.

I can't say much, but I can say that there is a solution in the works by a very dedicated few indies that have decided the time is right for us to make our own place in the world.

Please watch the blogosphere closely in the weeks ahead and I will try and keep you all as up to date as possible.

Indie Review - Princess by Courtney Cole

Money can’t buy happiness… even in a world that begins with a Tiffany teething ring.

Sydney Ross has it made. As the 17-year old daughter of Illinois senator Randall Ross and socialite Jillian Ross, Sydney was born with perfect teeth and a killer trust-fund. Everything about her life is idyllic…the life of a princess. The Ross’ are richer than God and twice as beautiful, the picture-perfect All-American Family.

Except that it is all a lie.

After a positive pregnancy test, Sydney’s life unravels in the space of just one breath. Life as she knows it is over and survival itself begins to look questionable as life and death literally hang in the balance with each sordid twist that she is dealt.

After the shocking climax, Sydney is brought to her knees with one seething question: Who in the world can she trust when no one is who they seem to be?

Caution: This book is not set in a Mayberry kind of world nor is it a simple book about teen pregnancy. Princess is somewhat twisted and edgy. You might need to fan yourself during some parts and a box of tissues during others. It contains love, suspense, heartache and loss. Oh- and some adult themes and language, too.

Princess by Courtney Cole is the poster-child for the #indierevolution: the flawless writing style and superb editing make for a novel that is a believable read in the world of literature. The cover is expertly designed, it looks legit. Above all, this author uses her wide writing talent to break free from paranormal romance and write a suspenseful, contemporary novel for an older audience. Her pitch is fantastic. We at All Indie E-books would highly recommend this indie novel.
