Personal Violation

When a female executive is harassed and assaulted by the company's CEO - and subsequently fired - a tenacious attorney is determined to seek justice. Profoundly affected and facing the psychological impact of a violent sexual attack on a business trip, executive Sarah turns to lawyer Scott Winslow for legal representation when she reports the incident - and is immediately fired for alleged poor performance. As he prosecutes the case, Winslow must find a way to pull together concrete evidence amidst dueling perspectives. The second book in the Scott Winslow Legal Mysteries series, Personal Violation is a fictional account of a real-world horror, portraying the substantial injury caused by rape, the mental and emotional challenges of seeking justice, and insights into the legal system. Teaming up with unorthodox CIA agent-turned investigator Lee Henry, Winslow goes all in to chase down the evidence - but can they piece it all together and close the case? I am a 39 year attorney who has represented many people in employment litigation, including whistle-blower cases, sexual harassment cases and discrimination cases. Along the way, I have learned a great deal about what happens in the work place and the industries and setting in which it occurs.I have a passion for writing characters and situations that might well happen to everyday people and about human frailties and the temptations life presents. How a character can find his or her self over their heads before they see it coming. I often create characters who deal with events beyond their control and who sometimes find the strength to do what they never imagined they could--and sometimes they come out alright. I develop suspenseful plots, with unexpected twists and turns that keep the reader wondering how it will end. Those plots must be driven by well-defined characters that you can identify with-not always likeable characters, but believable characters, with all the gray areas that human beings are equipped.
