The Author's Experience
Judge Alan King (retired) is an attorney and served as a probate judge in Jefferson County, Alabama, for more than nineteen years. Jefferson County is the largest county in Alabama. He began practicing law in Birmingham, Alabama in 1982. He was first elected as a judge in 2000 and retired in 2020.
Judge King was married for thirty-two years. His wife, Karen, was killed in a hit-and-run in Denver, Colorado, on Thanksgiving night, November 22, 2018, while she and Alan and their daughter were walking across an intersection. The driver of an automobile ran a red light and struck all three of them.
Alan and his daughter were both severely injured and spent months in physical rehabilitation. He and his wife’s son was in the United States Navy stationed in Japan. The driver was neither identified nor apprehended.
Alan decided to write this book to hopefully assist others in the dating and relationship process with some issues to consider as we search for love and happiness.
