"Why would you change careers from law to writing?" is a question I'm often asked. The truth is that I'm a writer who enriched my sense of the world by becoming a lawyer and then, finally, the success of my books allowed me the joy of writing full time. Deep within my DNA has always been the urge to create and tell a story . . . and then another . . . and then another.  I started in Fourth Grade and never stopped. At college I majored in English and continued even while working as a lawyer. Having my first novel published in the U.S. and internationally was a spur and a confirmation that my story-telling obsession could find an audience. I've now arranged to publish my novels as e-books in new editions with new material and new introductions.  The first was my legal thriller A QUESTION OF PROOF http://amzn.to/VjmDzX, a book that readers have always loved, as much for its characters as for its suspense and its powerful, surprise ending. In fact it has been called, "A masterpiece of suspense!"  I've updated it and added new material so as to provide as much enjoyment to my new readers as I hope the original version did.  DEEDS http://amzn.to/15fBb7T is the story of a dynamic real-estate developer about to undertake construction of the world's tallest building who, because of secrets buried deep in their families' entangled history must marry a women's rights activist who hates everything he stands for. BIRTHRIGHT http://amzn.to/SoKTNZ is an international bestseller that women, in particular, have told me they love.  It's the saga of a strong, brilliant woman in conflict with her scheming father for control of their family's legendary bank.while in love with two men who hold the keys to her mysterious past. STALKING THE SKY http://amzn.to/VjmDzX is a thriller that follows a dynamic, young lawyer as he tries to track down the killer destroying his airline's 747s in flight while also struggling to stop a ruthless corporate raider from seizing the company. Raving about my Hollywood TV novel STAR TIME http://amzn.to/TjjDSX. Regis Philbin said, "Amiel has [television] all together...the intrigue, the tension, the long hard climb, and the quick fall. It's all there, plus a terrific love story. You'll never look at television the same way again."
