Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a retired attorney. I have written five books, all available on Amazon. My autobiography is entitled, “Fried Fish.” My second book, “Rev. Joseph Cadwallader,” is about a Civil War ancestor. Next comes the Justice by Cadwallader series of books based on work I did as an attorney: “Shawna Johnson’s Case,” “Monique Meak’s Case,” and “Myra Boule’s Case.”
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Myra Boule’s Case” is a fictionalized retelling of lawsuit involving a lady who was ripped off by a lawyer. She hires attorney Thomas Frazier to get her case back. Just as he is about to get the money, she fired him. She was made to pay for all the work done on her behalf.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write when I am elevated in mood. Being Bipolar I, I find it difficult to get started but, when I do, the writing comes in a rush. A book may take days of hardly any sleep, sometimes weeks. I work on it until it is finished.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Some of my favorite authors are judges. Most judicial writing is terrible, but some judges are above the norm. For instance, former Justice Scalia often succeeded at making it interesting.
What are you working on now?
Trying to market my books.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m trying to decide on the fourth book for the Justice by Cadwallader series. Maybe it will be the lady who wrenched her knee in a graveyard.
