"Atticus Finch, a lousy lawyer?"

December 24,2011

I have an essay in the latest (October) issue of Voices de la Luna, which can be found at Voicesdelaluna.com. It's an essay I'd thought about writing for years, but didn't because I didn't want to make myself the most hated lawyer in America. Why? Well, the title is "Atticus Finch Was a Lousy Lawyer."

Also, here's a holiday bonus, my short story that was included in last year's BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 2010. My only historical fiction so far. I hope you enjoy it. Be sure to check the author's note at the end.
