Warning

Years ago, I tried to create a guide to the Casey Cort series—explaining what I was thinking as I wrote each scene, each chapter, each decision. The project collapsed under its own weight. I wasn’t ready to tell the deeper story yet.

Now I am.

The Politics of Justice goes beyond plot and into power: how justice actually works, who controls it, and why the outcomes so often feel uneven. Drawing from my background as an attorney and the fiction I’ve written over the last decade, this series explores the legal, political, and human forces shaping every case—on the page and in real life.

This is the story behind the story. And it’s long overdue.

Judged, the first book in the Casey Cort series, is currently free on all major ebook platforms. https://books2read.com/caseycort1

About Politics of Justice:
Politics of Justice is a long-form video series where I revisit my novels and unpack the personal history, legal realities, and systemic issues woven into the fiction. These conversations explore justice, race, family, power, and the cost of survival—on the page and in real life.
