• Russell G. Little—From the Courtroom to Best-selling Author

  Russell G. Little is a writer and practicing divorce attorney. Murder for Me is a fictionalized compilation of the many people he’s encountered over his lifetime and thirty-two-year career. He lives in Houston, Texas, with his wife of thirty-two years, Melinda.Bio: An interesting fact is that I practiced law for forty years, I tried over one hundred jury trials and hundreds more before a Judge alone.  Along the way I came across some unbelievable situations. While not all can be told, they can feed my stories, and I can write those.I write on a regular basis, but I’m not always productive.  Some days I get up and erase the whole days previous work because I woke up and realized that, unlike the night before, now I thought it was garbage.  My oldest son gives me grief about that.My favorite authors are not modern. I read Proust, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov. When I’m in a writer’s block, I read Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises.  The chapters about sitting in a Paris café always gets me back to the keyboard. The love of writing is what I got from those authors.Make sure to check out this author https://www.russelllittleauthor.com/You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, or visit my website www.drkatherinehayes.com💗•#authors #podcast #interview #apple #spotify #google #authorsofinstagram #books #read #reader #writerscommunity #listen #writer #write #mayhem #authorlife #author #bookstagram #blog #book #booklover #authorssupportingauthors #writersofinstagram #writers #readersofinstagram #readersofig #readersgonnaread #mystery #diversebooksmatter #MurderForMe #MurderMysteryAndMayhemLacedWithMorality #RussellLittle #MurderByStorm
