Monster Reading by Local Author Royce Buckingham

A hotshot lawyer faces his childhood closet monster again—this time as its defense attorney in a hidden supernatural court! 

Daniel Becker is a hotshot lawyer with few scruples and big ambitions. Success is practically guaranteed—until the monster from his childhood closet shows up, accused of murder, and demands his defense in a secret supernatural court. A witty, fast-paced mix of urban fantasy and courtroom drama. It balances quirky humor with real suspense and character development. 

Monster Lawyer explores morality, ambition, and the blurry line between monsters and humans. Perfect for readers who like their fantasy with both laughs and legal drama. A long-time Bellingham resident, Royce Buckingham has been writing fantasy and adventure novels for Big 5 publishers and Hollywood producers, including Penguin, Random House, St. Martin's Press, and 20th Century Fox for the past two decades. His middle grade fantasy series, Demonkeeper, has been translated into 11 languages worldwide.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
