Hero from OF “UNSOUND MIND AND BODY”
Full name: Franklin Lucky Hawk Ross, Jr.
Nickname: Hawk
Occupation: Successful lawyer in a big city law firm in Omaha, NE
Height: Tall…dark and handsome
Hair color: Jet-black
Eye color: Dark brown, almost black
Age: Late thirty-something
Originally from: The slowly dying town of Willow Pond, Nebraska
Describe yourself in 100 words or less:
I’m Omaha Indian and proud of my ancestry after having spent summers on the reservation with my mother. While I grew up in a tiny town, I love the energy of big cities. I work extremely hard and often travel internationally, but when I’m alone with a woman, then I’m totally focused on her…and some of that focus can take on a decidedly kinky flair. It’s not that I don’t like romance—you know, the hearts and flowers stuff—but the raw energy of two people exploring each other’s bodies and pushing the limits stirs that wild native blood in me.
What is the hardest part of your job? What is the most rewarding?
The hardest thing about being a lawyer is when I don’t win and let down my client. That doesn’t happen often but in those rare times it does, it rips me up inside. I hate it. As for rewarding, I’ve enjoyed handling the few remaining elderly clients from my father’s small town practice now that he’s retired…that’s very personal work, directly helping people. But, I truly come alive when I’m winning a major case…the Omaha in me loves a good battle and the strategy of “counting coups” on an unsuspecting opponent, which in modern times is less an act of bravery as it is displaying cunning against a foe.
When not working, how do you spend your time?
I pretty much work all the time, between winding down my father’s Willow Pond practice and the big city lawsuits that take me around the country or beyond. I think if I had someone in my life, I would find a way to slow down a bit…No I know that I’d make time, so that I could enjoy the companionship of a special woman.
If money was no object and you had 3 weeks of vacation what would you do with your time?
I’m single and successful, so money really isn’t an issue for me, although my time is limited. But if I had the time, I would love to whisk a lover away to a private tropical island for long session of playing Tarzan and Jane. I just need to find the right person.

Hero from “ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILGES”
Full Name: Jon Bateman
Occupation: Hot-shot L.A. lawyer in a major firm
Height: Medium height and build
Hair color: An unruly mop of sun-bleached sandy hair, sort of California surfer-dude
Eye color: Deep green
Age: 35
Originally from: Nowhere special, but he calls L.A. home
Describe yourself in 100 words or less:
I feel like I’m on the Bachelorette, but here goes…I’m driven to succeed, which has made me the top performer in my firm. I don’t like being bothered with minutia, such as taking on useless pro bono work just because of a firm policy that we contribute back to the community. Some say it’s because I’m wounded after my cheating wife’s betrayal, but, if anything, all the free time that I have now has made me more successful. I give one hundred and ten percent to my career. Who needs a woman? Well except for that one thing, of course.
What is the hardest part of your job? What is the most rewarding?
None of it’s that hard, if my boss will just ease up on the pro bono thing. As for rewarding, did I mention I had the most billable hours of my entire firm last year…by a wide margin. I do high-end, high profile criminal cases mostly, and when they’re actually innocent it is the most rewarding. But whether they’re innocent or not, my role in the U.S. legal system is to do my best to get them acquitted—and my best is quite good based on my record of wins.
When not working, how do you spend your time?
Umm. I work a lot, even the weekends. I used to like to surf. Maybe I should take that up again. Oh, and I enjoy a good book now and then.
If money was no object and you had 3 weeks of vacation what would you do with your time?
My ex-wife got half of my assets, so money is an object, although I do have way more than 3 weeks of vacation stored up. In the spirit of make-believe…if my bank account was overflowing I would… Hmm, not sure what I’d do. I guess going to Hawaii and trying my hand at surfing would be nice, although it would be far better if I had someone to do it with.

Hero from “OF WRITS AND WITHING”
Full Name: Judge Emmit Stockard
Nickname: Playboy Judge of Orleans
Occupation: Chief Judge in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court
Height: 6 feet
Hair color: Salt and Pepper, lusciously thick and slightly curled
Eye color: Chocolaty-brown
Age: mid-50’s
Personality: Radiates a bad-boy masculinity, think Richard Gere in his fifties
Originally from: born in Massachusetts but family moved to NoLa when he was a child
Describe yourself in 100 words or less:
I like to think I’m a fair and honest judge, at least I strive to be. Sometimes, however, I can’t help teasing the attorneys performing in my court, especially the lady lawyers, which might have contributed to my playboy reputation. But inside I’m not like that. I’m not saying I don’t have a wicked streak when it comes to women and sex, but now that my very-public divorce is a thing of the past, I’m ready to find someone to share my life with, a woman that can handle the bad-boy in me. So, where are you, I wonder?
What is the hardest part of your job? What is the most rewarding?
As a judge I must follow the law at all times and, sometimes that forces me to rule against people who truly need help. It’s really the only part of my profession that I dislike. So the most rewarding aspect is the opposite—making things right for people that have been hurt by some injustice. Then there are the perks of being chief judge—I love the perks. Top among those is wielding power in and out of the court…well out of court I’m mostly talking about power in the bedroom…if you get my drift.
When not working, how do you spend your time?
Back to the perks. I get invited to a lot of parties and events because of my position. I used to love going to them with a different beautiful woman on my arm every night, but now I find it all just tiring. It will feel different, I think, when it’s someone that I admire, someone I’m proud to have on my arm for more than her good looks. And, I’ll enjoy introducing her to my favorite hobby—racing my motorcycle down rural roads that twist and turn. And food, I’m a bit of a foodies and love NoLa’s best restaurants.
If money was no object and you had 3 weeks of vacation what would you do with your time?
I’d head out on my motorcycle and just see where it takes me. Explore every hidden byway in the great state of Louisiana and then maybe head west for a bit. It’s on my bucket list but I’ve been holding out until I can find someone to share this experience with. Again I ask, where are you? Sometimes I get this feeling that this person might be right in front of me and I just have to open my eyes to see her.
