New Radio Interview with the Chicago Tribune

At first I was terrified to do a LIVE interview with the Chicago Tribune's Rick Kogan for his wonderful radio program "After Hours with Rick Kogan" to talk about TITLE 13: A Novel. But as soon as we began, I felt right at home, because Rick is one of the kindest and most generous radio folks in the Midwest! (He also happens to be one of my favorite newspaper columnists and since my days in Chicago, I always try to catch his articles.) Though I was nervous, I quickly realized that Rick had truly understood what I was trying to accomplish with my novel and the discussion we had was one of the real pleasures of my life. Also, Rick has one of the MOST AMAZING radio voices of all time. Unlike my cartoony and annoying Midwestern voice, his is the one we all imagine when we hear that voice of reason in our heads. Please enjoy this chat we had last week about the secrets of TITLE 13, my writing and style, and what absurd nonsense I'm up to these days!
