edit data

I started out teaching English at the college and university level while writing novels, short stories, and children’s books. Then I went to law school, dedicated my law practice to defending people who could not afford to pay, kept writing books, took a detour into writing legal analysis for The Washington Post and other mainstream media outlets, wrote more books, and here I am.

Along the way, my writing has earned numerous awards and honors, including the Jane Addams Book Award, the Orbis Pictus Honor, and the Carter G. Woodson Middle-Grade Level Book Award.

Dear Goodreads Friends,

I have a few extra advance review copies of Andrew Jackson.

https://www.amazon.com/Andrew-Jackson...

Rather than offer them to people I don't know, do any of you want a copy?

I'll mail to anywhere in the U.S.

Contact me privately if you want one. Read more of this blog post »

“Ruth’s soon-to-be mother-in-law gave her advice about how to have a happy marriage. Just before the ceremony, Evelyn sat her down and said, “Ruth, remember in every good marriage it helps to be a little hard of hearing.”14 She then presented Ruth with a pair of earplugs. Ruth said that whereas she didn’t particularly need those earplugs in her marriage, they definitely came in handy later with law faculty colleagues.”
― Teri Kanefield, Free to Be Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Story of Women and Law

I just want to make a comment about my review policy. I only review books that I love enough to give 5 stars, and I never review books by someone I know personally.
