Paula B. Mays

I am an attorney with over thirty years of experience. My legal experience has varied from a start in criminal law, to intellectual property, specifically trademarks, and now healthcare. I also pursued a Masters in Public Health (MPH), from the George Washington University late in my career. It is an interesting field and I have come to find that public health affects everyone.

I am a native of Washington DC raised by a single mother, who was both brilliant and resourceful. I attended boarding school at St. Timothy’s in Stevenson, Maryland, a Baltimore suburb, as my mother was concerned that the black students were not being well-educated in schools facing conflict from the new policy of busing. I want my mystery novels to express the beauty in diversity.
