A LITTLE
ABOUT THIS BLOG
Let’s talk about the law. Specifically, the
criminal law. In the United States of America, we have at least fifty different
sets of criminal statutes. Add to that all the territories (Puerto Rico, Guam,
etc.) and the federal statutes, we have more sets.
Needless
to say, that gets confusing quickly.
What I intend to do here in this blog is to discuss
legal issues that are important to writers but also to entertain and inform
you, the readers of our books. Without readers, after all, we’d be writing to each
other. Right now, I’m aiming for a weekly blog. If you sign up, you’ll get the
new blog emailed to you. Note that all I ask is your email address. You don’t
have to fill out the rest if you don’t want to. And I never ever will use your
email address for anything else but to send you this blog.
A LITTLE ABOUT MY BOOKS
My murder mystery book series
begins with COURTING MURDER where the main character (Judge Rosswell Carew) is
introduced and the theme of the series is introduced. That is human trafficking
or, more correctly called slavery.
As you may already know, my books have a lot of humor.
How can a writer discuss something as horrible as slavery with humor? Good
question. And I answer it by writing that way in my books. There’s a message
there but the message is wrapped in humor.
The second book in the series is RIVER MOURN where
Rosswell fights a battle that’s exceptionally personal. The third book is
BLOODY EARTH* which deals with the death of a public official.
But all my books have (and will have) the theme of
fighting slavery. And if you don’t think the concept of laughter and tears are
two sides of the same face, look at the comedy/tragedy mask that is ancient.
