My novel:
"Lawyer for the Little Guy" is now available as an ebook at Amazon.com. Trial is a month away and closing fast on young lawyer, Jake Beck. The scumbag who ripped off his client for one million dollars will get what's coming to him if Jake has anything to do about it. It's a tough case when your client is shy and sweet and your adversary is hard and mean. And he's a lawyer. And he's the brother of your client. Jake's first trial has him facing impossible odds and many obstacles. The underdog wins some of the time, right? His boss, the judge, and even his client have their doubts. It's not all legal work and no play when Jake falls for a brainy blonde and she introduces him to her "adopted" Greek family. She is an eco-minded Santa Cruz, California girl right down to her electric car and yoga classes. The Greeks enjoy life, laugh often, and cook up a storm. Jake embraces their love and support during the darkest times in his pursuit of justice for the little guy.
