What kind of story does the author want to tell? It's an important question.

Many make that decision by looking to their own experiences. Others look to current or historical events for inspiration. But what if facts are so extreme, they seem impossible to be real? What happens when real-life crime and injustice read like works of fiction? That is the inspiration for my Zachary Blake Betrayal Series.

No author's decision is more important than choosing subject matter,” said Bello. “Does the story get your author juices flowing?” I find my passion in current events and their impact on civil or criminal justice issues. Today's headlines are often discouraging; it is challenging to find a clear perspective or a reason to be optimistic. Zachary Blake Betrayal Series novels examine those issues from multiple perspectives.

After years of working on high profile legal cases, I wanted to provide readers a front row seat to litigants' quests for justice. Each book in the Zachary Blake Betrayal Series has been “ripped from the headlines,” inspired by both my legal experience and our current sociopolitical landscape. The results are entertaining and thought-provoking legal thrillers that appeal to all legal thriller lovers.
