My first attempt at a fiction novel began in December 2013. I just woke up one day with a very strong desire to write a novel. So I did! And I loved it! I've discovered a new passion. All my writing prior to that, was limited to 14 years worth of legal pleadings. I remember when I first began practicing law, how frustrated I was that, in a legal pleading, you can't foreshadow, entice the audience with what's to come, and make them wait for the good stuff. I don't know why it took me so long to realize that what I really needed to be doing, was writing fiction, for the pure joy of it, and with no purpose other than entertaining the audience.

"A Brush with Love, A Brush with the Law," is a romance novel that takes the characters through a criminal saga. At stake for each of them, is not only their love for each other, but also the most important thing to each of them -- one's liberty, and the other's career.
