So, I just finished reading Not My Type (currently the Amazon #2 Best Seller) by
, and I can’t stop thinking about it! This book resets all notions of what really occurred during trial as reported by the media. E. Jean's eloquence, imagery, candor, and humor recreate a thrilling courtroom drama, even at times turning it into a fashionista Cat Walk. Meow! 😻A modern day Zen Master, spiritual leader, and beauty expert, (skin care tip: Vaseline Petroleum Jelly), E. Jean shows us how to win against the most corrupt, entitled oppressors on the planet. That is no small feat in a country so sexist that voters would rather elect a known criminal over a strong, brilliant, accomplished woman, TWICE.
Interesting highlights include E. Jean’s legal eagles using tried and true arguments such as the “empty chair defense” against an often seemingly intentionally bungling and incompetent defense team, to get very satisfying wins.
E. Jean takes us through the mostly hilarious and sometimes dark twists she faced, in the oldest court in the country - The Mother Court! - with honesty and courage, showing us that we can get through anything if we never give up. The events are so recent, it almost feels like real time. Best of all, it shows that even the worst villain is NOT invincible.
For your convenience
I took the liberty of downloading all the iconic E. Jean style photos referenced in the book. You’re welcome.








Here’s the thing
What is most confounding about the Republican Party is their tactic of weaponizing otherwise innocuous terms like “Woke” and “Abortion”. Because of their irrational fear mongering and hateful sexist and bigoted attacks on good people like E. Jean Carroll and Kamala Harris they are missing out on so much beauty and joy. Strong women, people of color, trans, LGBTQ, and other unfairly marginalized people, that they have ignorantly rejected out of hand without cause, are the best part of living.
There’s a constant aching in my gut due to this attack on our democracy and humanity itself by the truly evil Republican Party. Reading Not My Type made me realize it’s similar to being cheated on by a trusted lover, or being sexually assaulted, or even like being in mourning of a great loss. It is cathartic.
It’s champions like E. Jean Carroll, who show strength of character and integrity, not trying to sugar coat anything, that help bolster my resolved and keep fighting for our survival.
Tangent: Walking the Cat
The fashion industry term “Cat Walk” for the fashion show runway inspired the title of my new Louise Moscow Spy Thriller Novel, Walking the Cat. The combination of legal brilliance and sartorial flair in Not My Type felt like a parallel universe to my book.
This is not about me or my books. But if you’ve been interested in reading my historical spy thrillers based on real-life Bankers’ Grave Murders, international Russian money laundering, the Panama Papers, international sex trafficking, and the often deceptive world of haute couture, my whole Louise Moscow Spy thriller series goes on sale this month!
