Jay Brandon
Jay Brandon is a successful attorney and an award-winning mystery novelist. He holds a Master's Degree in writing from Johns Hopkins University and a law degree from the University of Texas. All of Brandon's novels are set in San Antonio and South Texas. His extensive experience as an attorney with the District Attorney's office in Bexar County and with the Fourth Court of Appeals has provided him with plenty of insights into the workings of the legal system, local politics, and the multicultural realities of the region. A native Texan, Brandon lives in San Antonio with his wife and three children — but not on Milagro Lane.
