A "Killer" YA Debut Novel from Criminal Attorney, Stephanie Hartung

ELLENSBURG, Wash. - Aug. 27, 2018 - PRLog -- – In the courtroom, Stephanie Hartung has seen more than her share of tragedies where good people sometimes do horrible things. Her experience and the cases that haunt her are what sparked her to pen Offensive Charge. Stephanie explains, "The book is intended for young-adults and has strong cross-over appeal. While it's cannot be used as a text book, it should be required reading for high-school as it serves as a poignant example of just how quickly life can change based on our decisions. Teenagers will be able to relate the characters and their struggles." "Legalizing marijuana in many jurisdictions has expanded the hemp enterprise to unprecedented levels. Entrepreneurs eager to strike while it's still green have developed new and sly ways to incorporate the intoxicating substance into everyday consumable products. Mainstreaming the product and hiding its taboo in innocuous looking lollipops has led to accidental consumption with regrettable consequences. Today's teenagers are finding themselves right in the middle of this alarming trend," Stephanie adds. In Offensive Charge, Tatum Williams is famous for "killing it" on the court. She has a pile of recruitment letters and full-ride scholarship to prove it. However, after the rival new-girl turns up dead in the trunk of her car following a rained-out Team Night, she's forced to swap her Lady Bulldog jersey with an orange jumpsuit branded with the ominous Death Row insignia. A shocking toxicology report, traumatized witnesses, and a strong motive leave little hope of freedom for the All-American girl turned inmate.
