Humor can be found in even the toughest situations if we look hard enough. And if we can find the courage to laugh at ourselves, all the better--it's wildly therapeutic. That's why I wrote Accidental Lawyer, to look back on a difficult time in my early career and see the humor. Being an ambulance chaser didn't suit my professional or intellectual goals and it occasionally tugged at my ethics. A good sense of humor sprinkled with sarcasm and a hint of cynicism were my survival tools. Accidental Lawyer, and my subsequent short-read series, Don't Mess with Jess, are a backhanded tribute to this profession and its unshakable stigma. They're also a heartfelt bow to the otherwise, high-principled lawyers who wade in its murky waters. I live in the Baltimore suburbs with my husband. We have two accomplished daughters who make me proud every day. When I'm not writing or reading, I'm likely watching sit coms or cooking shows, preferably with a chilled glass of pinot grigio at the end of a productive day.
