Aaron Monty Montgomery was a highly-successful, well paid defense attorney for the drug cartels until he lost a case and awoke in an elevator car headed for hell. The regular denizens were bad enough: from impish elevator operators to a Welcome Woman who was anything but welcome; from librarians and lawyers to his first assignment. Nothing prepared him, however, for his first opportunity: to defend Bram Stoker in a defamation suit brought by none other than Prince Vlad III Tepes Drakulya (better known as Dracula) or that it would plant him firmly in the middle of a power struggle between His Satanic Majesty and the ancient Babylonian gods represented by Pazuzu, demon son of the wind god.

So you want to know how I ended up in Hell. Thats easy it was because of Facebook. Yeah, Facebook.
A few months ago I was having a really, really bad day at work, nothing what so ever seemed to be happening the way I wanted it to so as a result I was in a really sour mood. During my lunch break I was looking over posts on Facebook and saw one that Janet Morris had made using the title of the new Heroes in Hell volume, Lawyers in Hell.

Once I started writing Lawyers in Hell, I wanted an environment to make it even more hellish. For military operations, Afghanistan (Ash can istan for the story) came to mind. It's rather inhospitable. And of course, the natives would like lawyers even less than they like most people.
I chose Joseph McCarthy as an antagonist, being one of the least regarded of recent American politicians (he led the hunts for "communists" in the 1950s, seeming to find them everywhere).

I have always been attracted to writing about the dark side of Life; everything in this world is in balance between light and dark although the dark is ignored or made to be a taboo matter. For me, however, I see it as a pleasing challenge for I respect it for what it is.
When I was invited to write a story for Lawyers in Hell, I considered it to be quite the honour, for although the story would be set in a shared universe, the possibilities were still endless.

Michael Z. Williamson first approached me about writing for the Lawyers in Hell, with Janet Morris approval, of course. I had had little exposure to the Heroes in Hell series before thata short by Gregory Benford in one of the The Nebula Winners volumes and a fix up (a novel made by editing several shorter works together) of Robert Silverbergs Gilgamesh stories. But that was enough to show that the world was different from the concept of Hell Id grown up with. It would have been very difficult to write interesting stories in that concept: And they were tortured for all time. The end.
