author insight

Even though my novel One Man's Castle came out a few years ago, I am always thrilled when someone tells me that they recently discovered and enjoyed it — and I'm even more flattered when they want to interview me about it!

A few weeks ago, esteemed writer and reviewer Joseph Arellano contacted me about an interview for his Blogcritics. It was posted this morning — and was immediately picked up by the Seattle Post Intelligencer! Wow! So very honored!! 

Here is the lnk. Enjoy!

Hi! Welcome back! I'm very excited to share this video with you. Our wonderful Augie Aleksy from Centuries & Sleuths Bookstore will be retiring soon. Many authors, including myself, stopped by on Independent Bookstore day to show support for him and all he has done to help the local Chicago authors, as well as making it a favorite stop for many famous national and international authors. While there, John Griffin was interviewing many authors and and fortunately, I was included. Check it out. I'd love to hear what you think!
