I watch and study the law, and lawyers, trials, judges, courts, appeals, firms, trends in litigation, crimes, etc, and the material is endless. I keep a list of possible stories for books, and right now there are a dozen.

Thank you for accepting my request of friendship. I have been a long-time reader, and my mother is who actually got me interested in your novels, beginning with The Firm, of which is one of my favorite books along with Runaway Jury. Much love from the South in North Alabama!
Thank you John! I feel honored to be your friend. I have read and listened to your books and felt compelled to make sure my friends and family got to read them! Have seen the ones that were made into movies numerous times! Keep them coming!
Thanks for entertaining us. Look forward to "Gray Mountain"

Thank you for accepting my friend request, Mr. Grisham! I admire your work as a writer, and your books always provide a break from routine, and leave the reader with a smile of contentment. I might add that I identify with what appear to be your abolitionist views, and hope more novelists touched upon the controversial issue of death penalty in such a way. Keep up with the good work!

Thanks for adding me to your friends list. I meet you years ago on a high school field trip. I grew up in Horn Lake, MS. I have been a fan of yours since that school field trip. Love all your books.
