About Me and My Books:
I write Romantic Legal Dramas. What are those? Well, my books are a mash up of the courtroom procedurals you see on tv (like Law & Order, the new Matlock reboot, The Practice or Judging Amy), PLUS romance, a faith element and there is always a pet. My next book, An Appearance of Impropriety, involves an ambitious female judge who is forced to work together with an ambulance chasing attorney on a community service project. Social media and AI are involved in an attempt to smear the judge’s reputation. There are also dramatic courtroom scenes. The cover gives a hint of the menace involved.
As the youngest female judge in LA, Mahalia Jackson has her career goals carefully aligned. But when her mentor tells her she needs to break her shell of professionalism and show a little heart by volunteering for the Junior Jurors program, her plans begin to falter. Attorney JD Cash heads up the Junior Jurors program, a project born out of his own troubled past. He leverages his position as an attorney to fulfill God's calling on his life, supporting the orphans and widows of society who have lost beloved husbands and fathers to TransNation's eighteen-wheeled time bombs roaming America's freeways. Mahalia's rule—never date a lawyer—is a straitjacket that tightens when she presides over the case where JD serves as a young widow's attorney. But when an earthquake leaves JD and Mahalia in a vulnerable position, her resolve begins to waver, and she finds herself opening up to the empathetic lawyer. But online, anonymous colleagues and adversaries attempt to destroy Mahalia’s reputation and career. A romance threaded with legal intrigue, An Appearance of Impropriety will show readers that real love is worth the risk.
What were some interesting moments practicing law?
The practice of law can be tedious, but it can also be glamorous and exciting. The most interesting things I saw while practicing were doctored documents tampered with in obvious ways. It’s amazing the lengths someone will go through to purloin an inheritance. At a broker’s office, I reviewed files and spotted globs of White-Out covering key details on originals. The broker must not have realized it was so blatant. In another case, the opposing side gave us copies of returned bank checks with altered memo lines, falsifying their purpose. We obtained cleared bank copies, revealing the original memos intact. Beyond uncovering fraud, my time practicing law in LA brought unique experiences. Like Pittsburgh had steel mills and Detroit makes cars, Los Angeles makes movies, and it’s where stars live their ordinary lives. It wasn’t uncommon to see streets closed for film productions or to spot actors running errands, blending Hollywood glamour with everyday moments, and it was one of the things I loved.
