Great to see the Best Story Wins perform so well on Kindle. Kudos to Tower Publishing for allowing a reasonable priced version of this title to be available on Kindle to make it more affordable for students and prosecutors.

Tower Publishing called me when the book was released and said, “You are the first author that’s asked us to charge less for a book.” But we all understood to reach the audience of working prosecutors that affordability was important.

Thankful to all the readers, professors, law schools, prosecutor associations and anyone else who took an interest.

The Best Story Wins recommended for Legal Book Clubs

How do busy prosecutors take care of professional development during the pandemic?

In the latest edition of The Texas Prosecutor Magazine (Sept - Oct 2020, Vol.50, No.5), Mike Holley, First Assistant District Attorney in Montgomery County has a great suggestion in his article Conveying and conserving office culture during COVI-19.

He recommends Book Clubs.

“The idea here is to get a group of employees together to read a book or watch a movie that will serve their joint professional development,” Holley writes. “The book or movie is itself simply a springboard to broader discussions about the profession and office. This could be done in small in-person groups or larger groups remotely….The best book I know for this purpose is The Best Story Wins: And Other Advice to New Prosecutors by John Bobo." (Emphasis added)

Thanks for the shout out, Mike. When I wrote the book, I had hoped that new and experienced prosecutors could use the scenarios in the book to generate conversation. After all, that’s how we all learn and understand the culture of where we work —hearing the stories from our colleagues of the skirmishes, battles and wars.

Meet the McCutchins

Shake The McCutchin Family Tree too hard and no telling what kinda of Taser-Burned Badass falls out. You can learn more about Little McCutchin and his epic crime family on Amazon Kindle.

I always thought it would be fun to show who the McCutchin’s are through a graphic-novel-style family tree. It was a blast coming up with the concept, working through initial sketches and then working with an illustrator in Brazil.
