Sealing Fate

Brian Madsen has it all: a successful political campaign, a beautiful wife and a prosperous legal career. Everything changes when a congratulatory kiss from campaign worker Cathy escalates into a passionate affair. When she is found murdered, Brian receives a cryptic call that leads him down a path of murder, blackmail and mortal danger.Coerced into making unthinkable choices, Brian must meet the caller's demands, or pay the price. But will he give in, or find the courage to fight back? 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.
