Gay romance penned by lawyer
I love nothing more than showcasing a fellow lawyer/romance author here. Skadden Arps partner Gregory Smith, writing as G. Carlos Smith, released his first romance novel, A Matter of Choice, last week. The book “explores the lives of two young men as they find their way during unforgiving but changing times. In a moving but delightful love story, the novel considers the tragic effects of laws like Proposition 8 while offering a new hope.”
Like most writers, Smith definitely isn’t in the book business for the money. The net royalties from sales of A Matter of Choice will be donated to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation or similar charity.
WSJ’s Law Blog had an interview with Smith in which he explains his reasons for writing the book.
