In case you ever wondered where I got the inspiration for Sam McRae, my lawyer-sleuth protagonist, here’s John Grisham on a podcast called Cross-Examining History, pretty much telling you what that is.
It’s almost frightening! 🙂 Grisham, of course, writes legal thrillers with courtroom scenes and stuff. Mine are more like hardboiled mysteries with a lawyer protagonist.
And, yet, we seem to have lots in common! How weird awesome! 🙂
I mean, I also write young adult/middle grade. And am concerned with the juvenile justice system. So … bizarre cool! 🙂

Me in my law office, years and years ago.
I love when someone else does the talking for me! 🙂
