The Court Reporter Always Gets the Last Word
The books in this series are humorous and not quite so cozy, while at the same time they give the reader a glimpse into the life of a court reporter. It’s a fascinating and challenging career.
The year is 1996. My protagonist Addie is a middle-aged court reporter, who lives in the home she grew up in in Santa Monica. Her brother is a highly sought-after attorney. Addie’s father is a world-renowned consultant on helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Addie’s mother is a retired Vogue model. There’s a cast of wacky characters, including a professional escort, a wise-cracking assistant, and two very vocal Siamese cats named Law and Order.
On a personal note, my brother and father died in the early 1970s. Addie’s brother and father are based on them as I believe they would have been had they lived into the 1990s. Addie’s mother is based on my mother, who died in 2020. By writing about them in my books, I get to spend time with them every day.
