Recently, I read “DISCRETION,” by Allison Leotta and had the opportunity to interview this renowned author. Allison is a graduate of Michigan State University and Harvard Law School. Before beginning her career as a novelist, Allison practiced law for twelve years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting sex crimes and domestic violence in Washington, D.C. It is this experience that inspired Allison to become an author and write first rate thrillers like “DISCRETION.”
