“How did you come up with this story?”

After reading or hearing about Lying in Judgment, my first novel, people often ask, “How did you come up with this story?” The truth is, this story was inspired by an experience of a friend of mine who was then serving on a jury for a violent crime in Washington, DC. We were talking at […]
