When my book came out back in September Kris Bertin was kind enough to interview me about it.
Now I am interviewing HIM about the brand new third volume of his and Alexander Forbes’ wonderful Hobtown Mystery Stories. This was a lot of fun to do!

have Tomas Alfredson direct The Honorable Schoolboy and Smiley's People.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I’m listening to the audiobook for The Fort Bragg Cartel and at one point COVID is brought up and the author matter-of-factly states that it broke free from a US funded bioweapons lab in Wuhan China as if this is objective fact? Very weird aside!
