SAN DIEGO AUTHOR LAUNCHES LEGAL SUSPENSE NOVEL
AT KENNEBOOKS
Teresa Burrell will be available for book signings of her new book The Advocate on Thursday, July 30, at Kennebooks in Kennebunk, Maine beginning at 6:00 p.m.
Burrell has written a suspenseful drama that transports the reader into the heart of the juvenile court system and provides critical insight into the labyrinth of child welfare. Burrell’s experience as a juvenile court attorney and her sharp, suspenseful writing style combine for a compelling, credible story.
According to thriller author Andrew Peterson, The Advocate is “A brilliant debut novel… with a sharp writing style and perception of right and wrong. Legal suspense as it should be, filled with action, drama, and emotion.”
The Advocate, ISBN 978-1-59080-631-9, has been published by Echelon Press and will be available at Kennebooks for $13.99. It will also be available at your local bookstores and online retailers.
As an attorney in San Diego, Burrell maintained a private law practice for twelve years, which specialized in domestic, criminal, and civil cases. Her work in juvenile court focused on representing abused minors and juvenile delinquents. Burrell has received several awards and special recognition from the San Diego Bar Association for her countless hours of pro bono work with children and their families.
Burrell has also enjoyed a satisfying career as a teacher. She has taught children of all ages with diverse backgrounds and special needs. After creating an after-school program that kept kids off the street, she received a community service award.
Now in semi-retirement in California, Burrell continues to educate groups about social issues impacting children and write novels, many of which are inspired by actual legal cases.
