This novel is for every woman who has loved and for those who had that love tested to their very core. Sometimes to find happiness you have to dig down deep in your soul for forgiveness, for that will set you free.

Roxanne has over 20 years experience as a legal assistant/paralegal assisting counsel in civil and criminal law. Her lifelong passion of writing and publishing a novel came to fruition in December of 2012 with her first novel "ADMISSIONS OF GUILT."

Roxanne Winkler's novel uses her many years of experience in the legal field to build a moving story that tackles infidelity and forgiveness set against an intense courtroom backdrop.

ADMISSIONS OF GUILT, although released in December, was a long time in the making for Roxanne. She began writing the novel after her boss died suddenly in 1997. “He was a high profile Maryland criminal trial lawyer, and I was devastated when he died,” Roxanne said. She promptly quit her job of 16 years and spent the next three months at her computer writing her novel. Roxanne stated that writing was the therapy she needed to get her through the grieving period. She then tucked her manuscript away until the beginning of 2012 when she decided to self-publish it on Amazon.com for Kindle. The novel required a massive rewrite in order to bring it up-to-date with modern technology.

She lives in Annapolis, Maryland with her husband, Jim and their dog, Shelby. They own a vacation home in Florida where they enjoy fishing and cruising the waterways. Roxanne volunteers for hospice during her spare time and is currently writing her next novel.
