Power, Greed, and Corruption in Washington, DC with Steve McGuire

Power, Greed, and Corruption in Washington, D.C. with Steve McGuire
Steve McGuire, a retired Federal judge with a 32-year legal career in Washington, DC, joined Alison Nissen on the Florida Writer Podcast. Steve writes political thrillers inspired by his experiences in Washington. He believes that politics has always been about the same issues, but the influence of corporations and the ill-informed public have exacerbated the situation. Steve faced challenges in his writing journey, particularly in his role as a judge, when every word was scrutinized.
Today, he can share his background and knowledge from the viewpoint of fictional characters. Steve's books have a common theme of power, greed, and corruption in Washington, D.C. Although his books are fiction, they have an underlying tone that implicates today's reality.
Steve is a native of Louisville, Kentucky, and had a thirty-year legal career serving as an attorney and a federal judge in Washington, D.C. Steve retired in 2008 as the Chief Judge of the Federal Trade Commission, where he received the FTC Distinguished Service Award and was honored by President George W. Bush for his service to the nation's judiciary. Florida Writers Association embraces the diversity of its membership from across the state of Florida, the nation, and the globe.
