Last night I interviewed crime author Steve Cavanagh for the bite-sized interviews feature. Steve is a working Lawyer in Northern Ireland and has released his debut legal thriller, The Defence – reviewed Here – set in the US.
I spoke to him about what it’s like working as a lawyer and writing about it, dipping into real life scenarios, the differences between how he practices law and how it works in the States and what artistic licence he used. Also the question that has to be asked – does he really think lawyers are con men?
Watch below to see what he says. It is slightly longer than the ten minutes, but it’s worth your time. Steve’s a great interview.
And don’t forget you can subscribe to the YouTube channel so you don’t miss anything I put on there.
I really liked this interview series, Rebecca! And this particular one is funny and informative. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Margot, I’m enjoying doing them and Steve was great to chat to!
Sounds fascinating. I think when we get into the details of a case–as in a novel like this–I’m less likely to see lawyers as con men. Otherwise, maybe!
I know, it completely depends where you’re sitting when things are happening! 🙂
Great interview! I really enjoyed it, and will definitely be checking out The Defence.
Thanks Kendra, we enjoyed doing it and I loved reading The Defence, it’s a great read!
