I love speaking to readers and writers! For readers, I'll chat about cozy mysteries, suspense, and the writing life. For writers, I offer workshops on Building Character, Setting the Scene, Creating a Newsletter, and Common Mistakes Fiction Writers Make About the Law, drawing on nearly 40 years as a practicing lawyer.
