Justice for Elizabeth is K. L. Dempsey's newest thriller, which once again points out his unique talent for creating and defining his characters. The novel illuminates the dark corners faced by a smalltown lawyer Luke Black, whose modest goals in life are defined by his annual three resolutions:That he will continue his long-term effort to destroy the popular belief that all lawyers are necessarily dishonest.That his net worth will reach his projected $6 million by the end of the year.That he will continue to elevate his search for Miss Perfect.The novel begins with the tragic kidnapping of a loving daughter while she was attempting to assist her parents with the payment of a routine bill. With a network of unlikely colleagues providing help along the way, Luke Black involves himself in the cat-and-mouse game of finding the reasons behind the kidnapping and hopeful return of this beloved daughter to her parents. What he finds along the way is that using all his skills have not prepared him for the most challenging case he has ever accepted. Readers will once again find a thriller that blends crime and suspense with romance.

"We don't get involved with the prevention of crime. This is not our job. We are here if he kills you or physically harms you; sorry, we cannot help. I know that he called you 260 times last week and has made 254 photographs of your bedroom windows. But, hey, all this is no hurt to yourself."I was standing in a London police station, not believing my ears. He is doing everything to destroy me and my business, but that is not enough terror I need to be stabbed or killed.When I mentioned that he has broken the court order that was issued for my protection, I was told that it is up to me to prove it in order for the police to act. I was on my own and very scared. I tried to not let him change my life, but I lost that battle. All I could do was write, and so I did. This book can be treated as a manual on how to recognize the kind of men to run from--men that are psychopaths and predators, who will leave you having wrecked your self-esteem, stolen your money and peace of mind, and in the end, your health or your very life. They are just not worth it, so beware!

On the edge,Staring down at worn sneakersBarely on the concrete,Fingertips hovering on rusty rails.How many other souls stood here too?Contemplating the plunge of life and death,A simple breeze the wrong direction.Then suddenly, you're hurtling toward the end.Perhaps they never hesitated.Yet somehow, we all know they did.Each one stood and debated the pros and consJustifying their next move toward oblivion.Despite all being tainted with the same darkness,We insist that alone is all we'll ever be.Gulping desperately at fresh air, only to findMildewed hopes and dreams abandonedRevolted with ourselves, We allow that final pushInto Death's warm embrace.

And some of these nuggets could even become a daily mantra!
I wrote my story when I was roughly thirty-six years of age. At that time, I went through depression with suicidal thoughts as I was mostly homeless since I was living out of my car, working when I could, and once out the week I stayed at a motel as long as my money lasted. That's where I wrote my story.Written in different time frames and after a month, I pieced through it, putting it in chronological order. Thus the result of The Pain Within. I took great pleasure writing it as I hope you take a greater pleasure reading it.
To dive into a drop of water or drink in a sea of stars, I had a microscope and a telescope. My sister had more changes than a kaleidoscope. We lived in a split-level house with a pool in the back and a TV in almost every room. The only thing missing, according to Mom, was a phone in the bathroom.Love was also missing, but love came and went, a castaway in life's day-to-day. The companionship, the friendship, the partnership were all lost, overboard like flotsam and jetsam from a sinking ship. After fifteen years, my parents were breaking up. Their marriage was on the rocks.
