Niva Killane is approaching graduation from Harvard Law School, where she earned a reputation as a ‘High Flyer.' One of those rarefied talents who made the law review, the Order of the Coif, and crushed the competition in the school’s Moot Court competition. She has arrived in Washington to interview for a coveted clerk position on the United States Supreme Court.
But Niva is cut from a different cloth. Though born in New York, she was raised during much of her youth on a kibbutz in Israel, and as a result has dual citizenship – as well as a past that remains concealed behind a veil of secrecy.
Written by New York Times bestselling author Payne Harrison, and brought to life by a full cast of voice talent, The Interview parts the veil to reveal Niva's astonishing journey to the inner chambers of the Supreme Court.
A native Texan, Payne Harrison admits to having a "jaded past" as a newspaper reporter. He holds B.A. and M.A. degrees from Texas A&M and an M.B.A. from SMU, and served as an officer with the U.S. Army in Europe. His journey to being a New York Times bestselling author started with his sending an excerpt of his book STORMING INTREPID to a New York publishing house, unsolicited and without an agent. That led to a multi-book publishing deal, an appearance on the TODAY show, hitting the Times list, and a paperback auction. He has had a dual career as a novelist and a forensic litigation consultant, which has required him to use "both hemispheres of the brain." He and his wife live in Dallas, Texas.
