Do you want to play a game?

A psychological thriller, You Can’t Catch Me, transports the reader into a game of deception, where nothing is as it seems. Catherine and Aaron don’t reveal any spoilers but vaguely discuss the plot in today’s conversation; Jessica Williams is Catherine’s latest protagonist, after narrowly escaping a cult she meets a stranger at an airport bar with the same identical name and birth date… what transpires is a captivating mystery filled with fraud, danger, and fascination. Aaron and Catherine discuss the challenges of writing in the first-person, the idea of being fair to the reader, the importance of finding a work/life balance and more. Observing the similarities between fiction writing and lawyering, Catherine and Aaron talk creativity in the law, legalese, the relation between writer skillsets and those of lawyers, and Catherine explains her experience with being both a writer and an attorney.
