What does Immortal Divorce Court tell us about love and relationships?

The literal trials and varied tribulations of Sirius Sinister remind us that love and relationships can be complicated and that the fickle finger of Fate and the rules of the universe are not to be trifled with.  Sometimes finding that perfect person for you is a matter of timing, but not just in terms of actually being at the right place at the right time.  I think you have to be open to the prospect of love.  You have to be in the right place in your heart for any love to work especially your true love.  Plenty of us are like Sirius Sinister in that we choose the wrong people, or do the wrong things.  And, plenty of us get taught the lesson that no matter how hard we try - some things are just not meant to be.  But, we all have to live like Sirius Sinister and have the hope that ultimately things will work out in favor of true love – even if it takes seven volumes…

What was your inspiration for writing such steamy sex scenes?

Though he doesn’t realize it at first, Sirius Sinister is on a quest to find his true love, and I just thank the heavens every day that I found mine.  I didn’t know what love was until I met my wife, Susie.  When you are in a relationship that doesn’t mesh everything about it seems difficult, and forced.  However, if you are ever so lucky to meet your true match in life, everything is effortless and natural, and every instinct is the correct one.  So, in effect with the Immortal Divorce Court Series, I wrote a seven volume love story to my wife, and she has graciously allowed me through my writing to share some of the most inspirational and intimate parts of our life.  And, as the saying goes – you write what you know!

What was the most rewarding part of writing Immortal Divorce Court?

The most rewarding part of writing Immortal Divorce Court was crafting a universe where the characters are so very relatable! As an attorney, I have met plenty of real-life characters, and I am essentially in the business of relationship management. I talk with people on a daily basis with different backgrounds, viewpoints, and experiences, and my job is to find a commonality to communicate together to solve the particular problem. The conversations I have had with close friends and family about life and relationships have also contributed to the real-life relationships in Immortal Divorce Court.

What did you have the most fun with when writing this book?

Without question, the most fun I had writing this book was writing the dialogue. When you have the dynamic of people behaving badly, and then suffering the consequences of said bad behavior, it makes for writing some entertaining dialogue. If I categorize Sirius Sinister as the “typical” guy, his actions and reactions, though sometimes knuckle-dragging are also real life, and real fun. Lastly, as a lawyer, I took special joy in writing the lines of Sirius’ lawyer, Maximillian Justice, who says and does things over the course of the series that any lawyer would love to say and do.
