Author Julie Lawson Timmer—whose debut novel Five Days Left was a best-seller—has no plans to leave law to write full-time. “I never want to have to care if a book sells or not,” says Timmer, who is working on her fourth novel “I think it would take an artistic endeavor and a lifelong dream and turn it into a chore. I also care about my company very much, and I love that my job is different every day. If that sometimes means I have to work long hours and it cuts into my writing time, that’s life.”
