FinchNo one is more surprised than I am about my decision to leave the practice of law in Houston and move to Lavender in the Texas Hill Country to become a sole practitioner. I came to Lavender initially to handle a matter for a wealthy landowner that I’d done some corporate work for in the past. Then the murder took place, and everything went – as they say – to hell in a handbasket.
My original project
got delayed because of the murder, but I managed to snag a local divorce client.
Easy enough to draft an original petition for her and get it filed with the
court. I could handle the case from my desk in Houston if need be, but Lavender
started to grow on me. I would definitely not miss Houston traffic. No doubt this little burg could use a lawyer with my
qualifications. Here in the country, I wouldn’t have to dress up for work if I
didn’t feel like dressing up. I could trade in my high-heeled pumps for flats,
or sandals, or western boots for that matter.
My feet would thank me.

There’s a black
cat – name of Hitchcock – constantly hanging around Sabrina, and he watches my
every move. I never knew what to make of the cat. Then a psycho killer targeted
me for some crazy reason, and I ended up in the hospital. When the killer tried
to get Sabrina, the cat flew into action. She needs to keep that heroic little fellow
around – I’ll even let him come to the office with her when she finally caves and
accepts my job offer. She will accept my offer - eventually - won't she?

My daughter lives in a small town in Texas. She's about 60 miles out from Austin in Killen (she's a Ft. Hood graduate). So I've heard a bit about small town living out that way. I love the series and will try to catch up by reading the latest book which is somewhere in 5 boxes and 3 shelves I call my TBR stacks.
ReplyDeleteI hope you locate and enjoy the book, Nora. As a person who communtes in Houston rush hour, I often wish I lived in a small town in Texas, and I envy your daughter.
