- Doubt

- Nov 07, 2020
I seriously doubt I would ever have written the first story had I not been a lawyer. I never dreamed of being a writer. I wrote only after witnessing a trial.
- Politics

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't want to force my politics on my readers.
- Law
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I give off rather mixed messages about the law. On the one hand, I can honestly say I don't miss working in a law office. On the other hand I do enjoy watching the law and while the profession may have its problems, I have sold zillions of books out of magnifying them.
- Never

- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up in a very small, close-knit, Southern Baptist family, where everything was off-limits. So I couldn't wait to get to college and have some fun. And I did for the first two years. And I regret a lot of it, because my grades were in terrible shape. I never got in serious trouble, except for my grades.
- Enough

Most criminal defendants do not get adequate representation because there are not enough public defenders to represent them. There is a lot that is wrong.
- Getting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One thing you really have to watch as a writer is getting on a soapbox or pulpit about anything. You don't want to alienate readers.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am. My clients were little people fighting big corporations, so it was a natural thing to not only represent the little guy but also to pull for him - it's the American way.
- Name
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My name became a brand, and I'd love to say that was the plan from the start. But the only plan was to keep writing books. And I've stuck to that ever since.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Quite often I can be in a bookshop, standing beneath a great big picture of myself and paying for a book with a credit card clearly marked John Grisham, yet no one recognises me. I often say I'm a famous author in a country where no one reads.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always try to tell a good story, one with a compelling plot that will keep the pages turning. That is my first and primary goal. Sometimes I can tackle an issue-homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty-and wrap a good story around it.
- Book
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always do book signings with the same blue pen. That way, if I add a personalised message to a book I've already signed, it'll be in the same colour as my signature.
- Lawyer
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was a lawyer for 10 years, and several of my clients had the misfortune, through no fault of my own, of going to prison. I visited them occasionally.
- Places
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Prisons are fascinating places, especially when the inmates are educated white-collar types.
- Death
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes I can tackle an issue -homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty - and wrap a good story around it. These are the best books, the ones with a story and a message.
