\u201cTemptation\u2019s Prisoners\u201d is now available!<\/strong> \u201cPersonal Violation (2019)\u201d<\/strong> \u201cImploded Lives (2018)\u201d<\/strong> The Whistleblower Onslaught is the first book that I have written from the perspective of an employment lawyer. This is a work of fiction, but the dispute, courtroom battles and deposition draw on some of my experiences over the years.<\/p>\n I will be posting about some of the other characters in the Whistleblower Onslaught. I am getting numerous comments about Lee Henry, the indefatigable investigator who always finds a way, whether or not above board, and the enigmatic Jerry Anders, as well as the Winslow family. You will likely have definite opinions about both Lee Henry and Jerry Anders as they each relentlessly pursue their very different goals.<\/p>\n In some ways, the desire or maybe the need, to be a story-teller is innate. I have loved writing stories for as long as I could write. Plotlines and the development of characters are both on my mind all the time. I have notebooks everywhere. I wake up at night and make a note so I don\u2019t lose a thought. It\u2019s a little obsessive, but I love it. I sit down at the computer and before I know it, four or five hours have disappeared. It may have been consumed with a single chapter, bits of six different chapters or the development of a character and what he or she would or would not do in an unexpected situation.<\/p>\n As I develop a story-line, I integrate characters that have their own motivations, foibles and character traits or flaws that dictate the action. People have weaknesses that get them into trouble and sometimes that trouble goes beyond their ability to cope. The characters I write often have such weaknesses and are tested to if they can find a way out of the category five storm that they helped to create. People have personality traits\u2014or disorders\u2014that can take them to mortal danger. Sometimes they can find the inner strength to find a way through that storm, sometimes not. The fascinating part of it is that once I start writing a character, I often find that the character begins to write him or herself\u2014to tell me what they would do based upon who they are. When that starts to happen, the story sometimes takes me somewhere unplanned. Sometimes I\u2019m not happy with where we wind, but on other occasions I love the character, the character\u2019s actions and where they have taken us and I think that you will be also. But none of this matters without the reader. So climb into a comfortable chair, open the book and let\u2019s go for a ride!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For Readers \u201cTemptation\u2019s Prisoners\u201d is now available!

\nAttorney Adam Mason guides the investments of many clients who trust him; they shouldn\u2019t. Adam has a gambling addiction that is getting the best of him. After going through the savings that he and his wife Christine accumulated, he starts on client money. Slowly, he comes to grips with the fact that he is going to be exposed as an embezzler and will soon be disbarred and going to prison. Then a client appears with money to invest and commissions that can save him from the fate that looms. Adam mistakes this client for his white knight.
\nChristine Mason is a respected psychologist who violates the number one prohibition for therapists, allowing herself to get involved with a client. When she attempts to end the affair, she is blackmailed by the client. When he winds up dead, she is a suspect. The FBI is after Adam and his white knight and an insightful and persistent detective is after Christine. The white knight has an agenda of his own and when the FBI comes after him and Adam, everything unravels. It soon becomes clear that there is nowhere for Adam and Christine to turn and their chances of remaining out of prison, or even survival, are not good. There are many twists and turns\u2014don\u2019t put it down!<\/p>\n
\nAttorney Scott Winslow and investigator Lee Henry from \u201cThe Whistleblower Onslaught\u201d are back with an extraordinary case in \u201cPersonal Violation\u201d (2019). Sarah Willis is a corporate executive harassed, and then raped, by the CEO.\u00a0 Scott takes on the tough legal battle and Lee Henry goes to great lengths to find evidence in support of Sarah\u2019s case. The book confronts the pain and lifelong injury of rape, and what a woman confronts when she finds the courage to come forward. It is a fictional story, but reflective of many of my experiences representing women attacked and harassed over the years\u2014something that should never happen, but remains a real world dilemma. Lee finds unanticipated ways to get to evidence that Scott can use in the courtroom, and there are many surprises along the way. I hope it touches you!<\/p>\n

Figure it out with the best of them as the unexpected is slowly revealed!<\/p>\n
