Some People Have More Guts Than Brains.

I Grew Up In A Very Small, Close-knit, Southern Baptist Family, Where Everything Was Off-limits. So I Couldn't Wait To Get To College And Have Some Fun. And I Did For The First Two Years. And I Regret A Lot Of It, Because My Grades Were In Terrible Shape.

I Struggle With Racism Every Day

I Was A Lawyer For 10 Years - A Short Time, But It Molded Me Into Who I Am. My Clients Were Little People Fighting Big Corporations, So It Was A Natural Thing To Not Only Represent The Little Guy But Also To Pull For Him - It's The American Way.

Writing Was Not A Childhood Dream Of Mine. I Do Not Recall Longing To Write As A Student. I Wasn't Sure How To Start.

I Cannot Write As Well As Some People; My Talent Is In Coming Up With Good Stories About Lawyers.that Is What I Am Good At.
