After You Shoot: Your Gun's Hot. The Perp's Not. Now What?
Alan Korwin, the author of five books and co-author of eight others, is a full-time freelance writer, consultant, speaker and businessman with a twenty-five-year track record. He is a founder and two-term past president of the Arizona Book Publishing Association, which has presented him with its Visionary Leadership award, named in his honor, the Korwin Award. He has received national awards for his publicity work as a member of the Society for Technical Communication, and is a past board member of the Arizona chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Mr. Korwin wrote the business plan that raised $5 million in venture capital and launched the in-flight catalog SkyMall; he did the publicity for Pulitzer Prize cartoonist Steve Benson s fourth book; working with American Express, he wrote the strategic plan that defined their worldwide telecommunications strategy for the 1990s; and he had a hand in developing ASPED, Arizona s economic strategic plan. Korwin s writing appears nationally regularly. Korwin turned his first book, The Arizona Gun Owner s Guide, into a self-published best-seller, now in its 24th edition. With his wife Cheryl he operates Bloomfield Press, the largest publisher and distributor of gun-law books in the country. It is built around nine books he has completed on the topic, including unabridged federal guides Gun Laws of America and Supreme Court Gun Cases, a large line of related books and DVDs, and nearly 1,000 radio and TV appearances. He was an invited guest at the U.S. Supreme Court for oral argument in D.C. v. Heller, which led to his 11th book, The Heller Case: Gun Rights Affirmed. After You Shoot is his 13th book. Alan Korwin is originally from New York City, where his clients included IBM, AT&T;, NYNEX and others, many with real names. He is a pretty good guitarist and singer, with a penchant for parody (his current band is The Cartridge Family). In 1986, finally married, he moved to the Valley of the Sun. It was a joyful and successful move.
