Lawyer creates Oklahoma mystery
Shannon Davies has spent her career advocating for workers’ rights with corporate clients and in the courtroom.
These days her workload is still stacked as she pushes about 10 cases to trial. Apparently the current economic conditions tend to bring out the worst in some employers, when things such as fairness, ethics and what’s legal are obscured by what’s on their company’s bottom line.
"I’ve seen more job losses now than in a long time. Make sure you know your rights,” she warns.
Still, being unemployed offers an opportunity to make something of oneself, she said. In fact, it’s probably a good time to make a Bucket List and begin to check off items on it. That’s something she’s been doing in the past few years.
Between her employment and business litigation practice — including mentoring to younger female lawyers — and taking care of her family, Davies, 46, pooled her imagination, writing skills and knowledge of the law to work on a novel. "Hunting License” is a mystery set in Oklahoma City and involves a lawyer who wants to help a woman who has experienced "serious sexual harassment” in the workplace. It has lots of intriguing twists and turns.
Davies is still looking for a publisher, but the book is part of a series, she said — with possible titles such as "Liquor License,” "Marriage License,” etc.
I’ll let you know when it’s in bookstores.
