- “FIVE STARS: Michael Collins is hot, and Kermit Guillardo is a riot!” — Lady Lawyer
Like John Grisham and D.W. Buffa, J.D. Trafford created a smart legal thriller that keeps the reader turning pages.
Michael Collins burned his suits and ties in a beautiful bonfire before leaving New York and taking up residence at Hut No. 7 in a run-down Mexican resort. He dropped-out, giving up a future of billable hours and big law firm paychecks. But, there are millions of dollars missing from a client’s account and a lot of people who want Michael Collins to come back. When his girlfriend is accused of murder, he knows that there really isn’t much choice.
About The Author
Even during law school, I loved to write fiction. I’ve always been a writer. I can’t 
imagine my life without writing. Then, about ten years ago, I began to get more serious about writing novel-length fiction. Like waffles, the first few didn’t turn out so well. No worries, folks, these stories will never see the light of day.
Then my third try was with a character named Michael Collins. Everyone has a moment in their life when they want to drop-out, sell all of their belongings, and live on a beach…I know I did. So, that was the concept behind the legal thrillers featuring Michael Collins.
Prompted by my wife, I submitted the first book in the series to the National Legal Writing Competition for Lawyers. And, it won. I did additional editing, changed the title to “No Time To Run” and now it’s been an Amazon Top 100 legal thriller since September 2011.
I think that there is always going to be a tension between the life you want and the life you have. We have a picture in our minds of the perfection, but the real world always interferes. That’s what Michael Collins struggles with, although in a far more dramatic fashion. I hope these books provide a fun read for people seeking a smart escape (but not too smart).

As one of New York’s top sex therapists, Dr. Morgan Snow sees everything from the abused to the depraved. The Butterfield Institute is the sanctuary where she tries to heal these battered souls.
The Scarlet Society is a secret club of twelve powerful and sexually adventurous women. But when a photograph of the body of one of the men they’re recruited to dominate — strapped to a gurney, the number 1 inked on the sole of his foot — is sent to the New York Times, they are shocked and frightened. Unable to cope with the tragedy, the women turn to Dr. Morgan Snow. But what starts out as grief counseling quickly becomes a murder investigation, with any one of the twelve women a potential suspect.
The case leads Detective Noah Jordan — a man with whom Morgan has shared a brief, intense connection — to her office. He fears the number on the man’s foot hints that the killings have just begun. With her hands tied by her professional duty, Morgan is dangerously close to the demons in her own mind — and the flesh-and-blood killer.
