My involvement in Lawyers in Hell came about as do many of my adventures in life, by way of my sense of humor.  I was playing with Facebook one day trying to figure out if this was the biggest waster of human time since Rubik’s Cube or God’s gift to enterprising networkers (it’s both) when I chanced across Tempus Thales, the alter ego of Janet Morris.  Having read a number of her anthologies and other works, I started corresponding by Facebook with her.  Eventually the subject of the Heroes in Hell series came up.  As a joke I told her that this field was not exhausted and that I could see room for many other volumes, especially Lawyers in Hell.

How I Wrote My LIH Story
    The bulk of my story, "Island Out of Time" was originally written in 1989 while I was still on active duty with the US Army.  I am part of the "Veteran Hellions", having previously been published in Prophets in Hell. 

When Janet Morris decided to take a hiatus from the Heroes in HellTM series, my story was already in the pipeline for the volume that never materialized.  So I filed it away. As luck would have it, I am a very patient man and the Internet is miraculous.

»The Register,«
 a story in Lawyers in Hell

Alistair Chrysler-Smith is a Field Agent for the Ratings Department for The Hell Register of Preeminently Damned Lawyers.

What does this mean?

Why, he’s one of the very few damned souls allowed to leave the confines of Hell itself, to roam the Earth, and take extensive notes on all living lawyers, guaranteeing that said sinners will be met with a well-written biographical listing in Hell’s premiere desk reference for the most deserving of Hell’s denizens.

Plains of Hell (A story in Lawyers in Hell)

Ein Beitrag von Bruce Durham

Lawyers in HellPlains of Hell
(A story in Lawyers in Hell)

The building was a ramshackle wood and brick structure with saloon doors and grime-streaked windows.  Over its entrance a pitted metal sign creaked under a stiff breeze, the words on its facing faded and worn.

“Roadhouse 666,” mumbled General James Wolfe.  “Looks as good as any.”

Nudging his hell-horse to a hitching post, Wolfe dismounted and tied off the reins, pointedly avoiding the beast’s serrated teeth and over-sized mouth.  The creature promptly swung on a second tethered hell-horse and launched into a ritual of dominance assertion common to the breed.  The neighboring beast eagerly took up the challenge.

How Plains of Hell Came About
As a longtime fan of shared-world collections I was thrilled to participate in the re-launch of the Heroes in Hell franchise. So, my first order of business was brushing up on some of the original books to acquire a feel for the subject matter, as well as poring over extensive background documents.  Once acclimatized, it was time to conjure a plot and populate it with characters.

Fortunately, that part proved easy.

Authors’ Commentary on “The Adjudication of Hetty Green”

Lawyers in Hell Authors’ Commentary on
»The Adjudication of Hetty Green,«
 a story in Lawyers in Hell

Just how does one write about Hell?   Over the ages, Hell has been so many  different things to so many.  Is Hell actually a place or is it a frame of  mind?  Depending on point of view and attitude, ten people can all have the  same experience and come away with ten very different memories.  Since Hell  seems to me to be a personal experience, I decided to work with a single  soul's predicament.  The gangster era of Chicago looked like a wonderful  place to start.  The major personalities of the time were all larger than  life.  They lived hard and most died spectacular deaths.
