Announcing the Advocacy Club Series of Stories
|
As a run-up to the forthcoming novel, Murphy's Law, John Hollander has published a series of short story "prequels" on Wattpad, a free website for readers and authors. Links are shown below.
In No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, Jake Murphy is a 3L who pleads the case of a driver charged with a traffic court offence, but gets takes on more than he bargained for. In Byline, journalism student Rebekah Khalil takes on a corrupt developer intent on destroying her community. In Survival, new Call, Iain Rohan, is tossed around like a plaything by the legal sharks in his dysfunctional office. In Inertia, 3L Suzanne Lapointe's parents pull a Bernie Madoff, leaving a stunned Suzanne to pick up the pieces of her life. In Strike Out, ambitious partner Antony Garcia plots to take over a big firm, heedless of the collateral damage. In The Associate, senior associate Marianne Adams jockeys for position in a cutthroat law firm while championing the case of Rebekah Khalil, who finds herself the target of a ruthless developer. In Finding Saul, a 2L has to leave law school to care for a desperately ill brother and is forced to confront his own value system. Murphy's Law is being published in serial format. Meet Jake Murphy, a recent law grad with no job, network or prospects. Life throws him a life vest, which he grabs with both hands. Follow his first year in practice as he does battle with the sharks in his office, in other firms and even among his clients. It seems that everyone in Jake's circle has an agenda. Does Jake? |
