Manning Wolfe’s Guide to Stress-Free Gift Giving!

Happy December –

‘Tis the season for frenzied shopping and endless internet browsing in search of the perfect gift. It can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to finding something for those “difficult-to-buy-for” individuals in our lives.

Thanksgiving Greetings from Port Aransas: Beach, Food, and a Recipe!

Happy Thanksgiving from the beach!

I’m coming to you this week from Port Aransas, Texas, one of my favorite places on earth. We’re here to celebrate my birthday and unwind for a week before the family arrives for Thanksgiving – our first in the new house – back in Lockhart.

Moving and Renovating, a Birthday, and New Shows to Binge!

October was another whirlwind month for me, and I bet for you, too. Between moving and renovating, it’s been a challenging but rewarding process. From picking out flooring to dealing with the noise and chaos in the new house, it’s definitely kept me on my toes.

Meet the Matherlys!

Could you take a foster child into your home, hope to adopt her, and then have to give him back?

Many readers have asked, over the years, where I get the ideas for the characters in my books. Sometimes I’m sparked by a name, but most often, I begin with something factual in either my law practice or personal life.

Recently, while plotting Hunted By Proxy, the second novel in the Proxy Legal Thriller Series, I had an opportunity to write about my former assistant, Jess. In the book, she and her h...

I hope you are well and enjoying really great reads as we head into fall. I have some exciting personal news to share with you – we’ve just bought a house! Yes, Darling Bill and I are downsizing to a patio home nearby in Lockhart, the Barbecue Capital of Texas. It’s close enough to enjoy Austin, and see our son, Aaron, when we choose – but far enough to give us some breathing room. And, best of all, it’s on the way to the beach!

One of the highlights is my new office space, where we’re installin...
