Legal thriller author Jilliane Hoffman signs a student's copy of her latest book, Pretty Little Things at Stetson Law. Click for high-resolution image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Best-selling author and former prosecutor Jilliane Hoffman visited Stetson University College of Law’s Gulfport campus on Sept. 27 to speak with students about writing as a career and her latest book.<\/p>\n

“If you want to branch out in a totally different career, writing is an option,” Hoffman told her audience at Stetson.<\/p>\n

Hoffman shared how she transitioned from her legal career into writing legal thrillers, and how she \u00a0first found a publisher through serendipitous networking on the part of her mom. Hoffman’s \u00a0legal career includes working on domestic violence cases as assistant state attorney prosecuting felonies in Florida and \u00a0advising special agents working on narcotics, homicide, and organized crime investigations.<\/p>\n

Hoffman \u00a0told the story of the \u00a0impetus of her latest novel, Pretty Little Things<\/em>. A too-close-for-comfort encounter with \u00a0a child predator using the Internet to find victims sparked Hoffman’s latest thriller.<\/p>\n
