Incorporating the Law Into Your Legal Thrillers
Few things are more disconcerting for the savvy reader than spotting mistakes. It takes the reader out of the book and erodes trust with the author. On the other hand, one of the great pleasures of reading is being immersed in another world and learning the rules and customs of that world. Incorporating legal aspects into your writing presents these risks and rewards.
