E115 - Thriller authors, Susan Jane Wright and PJ (Pamela) Donnison join me in the studio. We enjoyed a roundtable discussion about lawyers as protagonists and the hazards and legalities involved with our protagonists having that occupation.
Susan Jane Wright is a Crime Writers of Canada Awards of Excellence Finalist. Her debut novel Box of Secrets was in Amazon’s top 100 and was at the number 3 spot in the Calgary Herald Best Sellers list then went up to #2 in its second week of release. The second novel in her Evie Valentine series, The Glass Lake is being released on Nov 23, 2022. Susan was a lawyer and an executive in the energy sector before she became a writer. Her legal career took her from the board rooms in Calgary to the streets of Beijing. She’s received the PIA Public Interest Award for Southern Alberta and the Canadian Law Blog Award for her legal blog Susan on the Soapbox. Welcome, Susan.
