Meet the next Big-Ticket Legal Thriller Writer

Because, as this new deal offering shows, you just know there’s going to be a ton of publicity money thrown behind this book:

Stanford University law professor (and intellectual property expert) Paul Goldstein’s first novel ERRORS AND OMMISSIONS, a legal thriller featuring a high-powered trial lawyer whose marriage, career and life is in crisis and whose final chance for professional redemption leads him deep into the corporate power struggles within a Hollywood studio – and the shadows of history cast by the blacklist era and the Holocaust, already praised by Sue Grafton, to Gerald Howard at Doubleday, in a pre-empt, for two books, for publication in spring 2006, by Wendy Strothman at The Strothman Agency (world).

Professor Goldstein’s credentials are most impressive, with several articles and books written on IP law and copyright issues during his 20-year stint as the Lilick Professor of Law at Stanford. He also works with the firm Morrison and Forester, whose website caused me to giggle b/c of their unfortunate acronym that’s proudly displayed everywhere, including their email addresses.

Humor aside, congratulations to Goldstein on his spiffy new deal.
