By Diane on December 12, 2015 in Beyond The Covers, Blog, Hunt for Jack Reacher, Saturday Special

I love these little minions for their honesty! Here’s one of their latest truisms: Are you a cash stasher? I’m not. But if I was, I like to think I’d be a law-abiding cash stasher. As a fiction writer, I do tons of research to make sure every detail in my books is definitely plausible. On […]

In the United States legal system, we arrest criminals, put them in jail, send them to trial, and sentence them. But the path for victims is a lot murkier. That’s why we have formal victims’ rights programs here in the U.S. But unless you’re a victim or work in a legal field, you may not […]
