Andy Siegel

When a lawyer has written several novels, you don’t think, “Hey, in high school, they kept him in remedial reading through eleventh grade.” But it’s true. There Andy was, with five other students in a room behind a solid door with a tiny window set up high to prevent kids from peeking. From that classroom came Andy’s earliest identification with the underdog. Yet all things turn out to be connected.

Practicing law, Andy quickly realized the little guys of this world—the ordinary joes unable to stand up for themselves—most needed his legal expertise and fighting spirit to take on large and powerful insurance companies. Justice is something you shouldn’t have to compete for...but it is.

After sharing a trial story with an inquiring mom at his kid’s baseball game, she said, “you should write a book.” Then, the idea of Tug Wyler—who was hanging around, shadowing Andy’s daily life—just appeared in his head.

The rush to cover up genuine wrongs that lie at the heart of the Tug Wyler Mysteries happens continually in the real world. Readers will enjoy stories drawn on Andy’s day-to-day life: a mix of rule-bending high-tension conflict during the course of which they’ll laugh in spite of themselves …while never knowing what’s going to happen next. Like Andy, Tug’s the kind of street-smart push-it-to-the-limit lawyer you’d want on your side when the worst has happened.
