About Rachel's Books
Hello! Just a note about my legal thrillers. My books tend to be a tad controversial, because I write about marginalized people and underdogs in a sympathetic manner and write about the people who oppress them in a, shall we say, less than sympathetic manner.
So, I tackle LGBT issues while calling out people who are prejudiced against them (Bad Faith, The Hate Crime); write about racism while pointing out that it's wrong to oppress African-Americans (Wrongful Conviction, Injustice For All), asylum-seekers (Presumed Guilty), and Muslims (The Associate); and call out corporate greed (The Trial, Justice Denied, Until Proven Guilty). I write about sex trafficking (Justice Delayed, L.A. Defendant) and mental illness (Hidden Defendant, Secrets and Lies, Insanity Defense).
I make no apologies for rooting for the underdog. If that's controversial, then so be it.
Happy reading!!!!!

Amazon Reviewer
Presumed Guilty
Presumption of Guilt: Southern California Legal Thrillers Book One is exactly that! It is a thriller from start to finish. I so enjoyed it that, upon completion of reading it, I pre-ordered her second book in the series. Avery Collins, the primary character, is a spunky and aggressive lawyer continually fighting for her client's interests despite powerful, wealthy characters opposing her.
