The Resilient Lawyer with Jeena Cho
Business:Careers
In this episode, I am so excited to have spoken to Debbi Mack. Debbi Mack is the New York Times bestselling author of IDENTITY CRISIS, the first book in the Sam McRae mystery series, featuring Maryland lawyer-sleuth Stephanie Ann "Sam" McRae. She has also written and published a young adult novel, INVISIBLE ME, a thriller called THE PLANCK FACTOR, and several short stories, including a Derringer nominee. Debbi's currently working on a new mystery and preparing to re-launch her Sam McRae series. She has her own podcast called The Crime Cafe, where she interviews other crime, suspense, and thriller authors. Debbi has also written two feature film screenplays, including an adaptation of her first novel, an original TV pilot and a short film script. A native of Queens, NY, Debbi currently lives in Columbia, MD, with her husband and cats.
Topics Covered
Her diverse background which led her from law, to working with the EPA, and ultimately how it played a crucial role in her current writing works today. The "superiority" lawyers can feel that can hinder and alienate them from others, and how to combat this with a healthy perception of self and their career. She dives into the writing process; how she puts pen to paper, who she writes for, and how her writing is an expression of her self in a way. She also talks on the "creative sprint," and how it can help spark creativity in those that don't feel they are creative.You can learn more about Debbi and her work at:
