I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.

A riveting, exciting and thoroughly compelling tale of adventure.

She was pondering the option of law school, the great American baby-sitter for directionless postgrads.

The company later went broke, and of course all blame was directed at the lawyers. Not once did I hear any talk that maybe a trace of mismanagement could in any way have contributed to the bankruptcy.

You live your life today, Not tommorow, and certainly not yesterday.

I always try to tell a good story, one with a compelling plot that will keep the pages turning. That is my first and primary goal. Sometimes I can tackle an issue-homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty-and wrap a good story around it.

I seriously doubt I would ever have written the first story had I not been a lawyer. I never dreamed of being a writer. I wrote only after witnessing a trial.
