Inhaltsangabe

In her first book (Let's Disappear), Vivian was a 17-year-old girl hoping to escape, to disappear from a life she hated but didn't understand. She wanted to write her own book, so she did. At least she said she did. In this sequel, Vivian emerges, a little older, more worldly, wealthy, but still afflicted with a disorder she cannot fathom. Her occasional little brother, Vince, seems to have stolen her soul, along with her identity. Or maybe not. They are as disturbed now about their father as they were when Vivian first disappeared five years ago. Now they emerge to find out who they are, the men who were after their father, and maybe to find themselves. Vivian always insisted she was exactly who she said she was. Vince doesn't talk about it. Vinessa knows. Those who doubt Vivian, Vince, or Vinessa will regret it. A vile creature known to them as Julia Baby has surfaced. The hunt is on. They will find her, Vinessa will see to that, just you wait and see.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I am a retiring lawyer, a working author, and a preserving blogger. I was a full-time trial lawyer for thirty-two years in a large Phoenix firm. I was a part-time law professor for the last twenty-nine years. As of summer, 2023, I am writing, publishing, and blogging full time. My first book was a textbook published by the Arizona State Bar Association. My first novel was published by the University of New Mexico Press. I've written ten novels and eight nonfiction titles as of July 2023.From the day I entered law school, I've been reading cases, statutory law and writing about legal conundrums and flaws in our criminal and civil justice systems. I've always read novels, nonfiction, and historical fiction by great authors who were never corrupted by the staid habits of trial lawyers. I write long-form, interspersed with the occasional blog, op-ed, or essay. One of the unexpected benefits of reading the law is learning how to write about it. Somewhere along the trajectory from a baby lawyer to a senior one, I became intoxicated with blending nonfiction with fiction in books, rather than legal documents. After spending thirty years in courtrooms trying cases, I started writing aboutthem. That led to writing novels while borrowing from famous historical settings and lesser-known characters. My courtroom days were chock full of ideas, notions, and hopes about ultimately becoming an author. I organized and memorized critical information for judges, juries, and clients. Now I use that experience to write vivid fiction and immersive nonfiction. I moved away from trial practice to teaching law students how to use creative writing techniques to tell their client's stories, in short form.F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath." The same could be said of my transition from trying cases to writing crime fiction. I've been holding my breath for twenty years waiting for galley proofs and book reviews. Anais Nin spoke for all of us when she said, "We write to taste life twice."My first novel, The Gallup 14, won a coveted starred review from Publishers Weekly. I won a Spur Award from Western Writers of America in 2004 for my first nonfiction book ("Miranda, The Story of America's Right to Remain Silent"). I won the 2010 Arizona Book of the Year Award, The Glyph Award, and a Southwest Publishing Top Twenty award in 2010, for "Innocent Until Interrogated-The Story of the Buddhist Temple Massacre." My third nonfiction title ("Anatomy of a Confession-The Debra Milke Case") was highly acclaimed. My nonfiction title "CALL HIM MAC-Ernest W. McFarland-The Arizona Years" was widely and favorably reviewed. My latest nonfiction crime book, "Nobody Did Anything Wrong But Me, was published by Twelve Tables Press, one of America's most distinguished publisher of law books about important legal issues. No New York Times bestsellers, yet.
