I’m a lawyer who writes in the evening and on weekends, or, if you prefer, I’m a writer who practices law during the day. My books are jammed with my hobbies and interests. While the main characters are not “me,” they are parts of me. My first book was about a female sniper, and I was asked—a lot!—how I knew so much about disposing of evidence and disguises. I did do research, but I also made up “stuff,” like all novelists do.
