Even in the arduous years carving out a career as a young associate, Robyn Gigl always envisioned herself as a future author. It began with an unpolished manuscript scribbled on a yellow legal pad decades ago. Today, Gigl has a catalogue of three successful legal thriller novels featuring the intrepid protagonist Erin McCabe, a transgender defense lawyer. Gigl’s second novel, Survivor’s Guilt, recently earned a place on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 Best Mystery and Thriller Books of All Time. A longtime member of the New Jersey State Bar Association’s LGBTQ Rights and Labor and Employment Law Sections, Gigl spoke recently about her blossoming career as a novelist and how her experiences as a transgender lawyer inspired her writing.
