This was a really fun interview with a ton of unexpected questions. Chris's show is a pleasure - both to listen to and to be a guest on

I had a great time interviewing James Grippando on about his twisty new legal thriller, THE RIGHT TO REMAIN.

Check out our conversation and then go read his book - it's a true page turner with tons of surprises.

My debut novel, WHAT MEETS THE EYE, is a Kindle Daily Deal. Check it out if you have a spare $1.99 and a morbid sensibility.

Just pre-ordered THE RAVINE by Maia Vhance_ and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into this gothic thriller. A severed head + trad wife culture + a mysterious island in the Pacific Northwest = count me in.

As a writer, there is nothing more humbling than watching someone pick up your book, set it back on the self, and then walk off with Majesty Magazine's King Charles edition.
