Ex-Wife’s Claim to Books Published After Divorce Found ‘Ambiguous’
Divorce may have severed Joy Kellman's personal relationship with writer Walter Mosley more than six years ago, but she'll get a chance in court to prove that contractual ties still bind her to fictional detective Easy Rawlins and other characters created by her ex-husband. Kellman maintains she is entitled to 25 percent of the income generated by the widely acclaimed Easy Rawlins series -- whether the books were written before or after the marriage ended.
