I suppose that one of the reasons I wrote "In Contempt" was because of the money. After the trial I came to realize that there were things that I needed to do if I was to protect myself and my family, so there were some selfish reasons for it.

Its much like writing a screenplay with someone else and thats how we view it, I think.

I chose to go to law school because I thought that someday, somehow I'd make a difference.

In some ways I'm still recovering from the trial. My health is not as good as it ought to be. I've gone back to practicing law and it seems to have taken a toll for whatever reason.

Writing is hard work, but a lot of fun, too. It allows me to live out some of my fantasies.

I think that as I continue to write, my writing I hope will become more controversial and more provocative.

It would have been easier to have a male protagonist, but I didn't want people to assume that Nikki Hill was me in her entirety because a lot of people just don't like me and I don't think they would be interested in reading about me, even in the fictional context.
