Roberta M. Gubbins is a lawyer who writes. After practicing law for a number of years, she traded her briefcase for a laptop and took up the world of letters.

Always writing with the reader in mind, she translates legalese into plain English, creating informative and interesting articles that future and existing clients can understand and trust.

Her e-book, "Why do We do That? Commentary on Lawyers and the Law," a collection of essays, is now available on Amazon and other e-reader publishers. Using a pen name, Alexandra Hawthorne, she writes cozy mysteries featuring lawyers with extra-human powers and is completing a memoir of her year in Eastern Europe.
