The Law We Write vs. The Law We Live: A Lawyer’s Journey Through Justice, Power, and the American Divide

When people hear that I’m both an attorney and a cattleman, they usually pause. Add “sci-fi author” to the mix, and the look on their face shifts from surprise to curiosity.

My days are rarely the same. One morning I’m in Houston’s courtrooms, navigating the complexities of a particular case with a judge and opposing counsel. By evening, I’m walking the pastures in East Texas, making sure the herd is safe and healthy. And at night? I step into another universe altogether—the universe of Order is Violence.

It’s a strange balance, but I believe creativity thrives when it’s shaped by different worlds. The courtroom teaches me about conflict and resolution, the ranch keeps me grounded, and writing lets me explore what lies beyond human limits.
