Douglas Halpert will take you on a literary journey to experience how places are as alive as the people who inhabit them.
I believe that places are as alive as the people who inhabit them. Buildings and homes have their own lives, and profoundly influence the experiences of the people who toil and reside within those structures. My stories capture this fascinating interaction between the inanimate and the animate. In my former 33-year career as a nationally recognized lawyer, I authored many articles and book chapters. These included fictionalized accounts of my adventures as an attorney. Some of my stories were published nationally by the American Bar Association Journal and in the books Lawyers as Economic Drivers and Inside the Minds.
You can read the story of my legal career in this nationally published story, “The Death of a Lawyer,” which I authored for the American Bar Association Journal. I also have many sports writing articles to my credit. I earned a bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Chicago, and a Juris Doctor Degree from the Fordham University School of Law. I was recognized for my expertise as an attorney by Best Lawyers in America for a quarter century before recently morphing into a full-time author.
I have completed writing my first two books—short story collections titled Tales of Buffalo and George Washington’s Laundry & Other Tales. The story, “The First Man Replaced by AI,” which appears in George Washington’s Laundry & Other Tales has been accepted for publication by Half and One. I am currently working on my first novel.
