What is your book about?
The decade-long pursuit of justice for the separate (within thirty days) execution-style murder and kidnapping of the parents of my co-author and client, Ashley Elliott.
What inspired you to write your book?
In addition to original works of my own, I ghostwrite non-fiction and fiction, and the client (Ashley Elliott) asked me to help her write her story.
If you have a business related to your book, tell us about it:
I don’t, other than I am a trial attorney in addition to a writer and the two professional skillsets converged nicely for this project.
What is a typical day like for you?
I write first thing in the morning, often starting as early as 5 am, exercise in the late morning to early afternoon, and return to writing (and editing) for the balance of the day (or I run out of creative steam).

Storytelling to impact readers.
What are some favorite books you’d recommend to our readers?
Let’s Pretend This Never Happened; Wilmington’s Lie; The Fact of a Body.
