Rick Mofina is a very accomplished and interesting storyteller. We had a wonderful time doing this interview, and talked for an HOUR afterward. I almost missed my other appointment.

What a fun and absorbing interview to do, and one of the most pleasurable for me. We get into so much out the plot, and this book is so well written. The more I read the more I could not put it down. He sounds so much like a married with … [Read more...]
