Got Time to Listen This Weekend?

I had the pleasure recently to appear on "The Boys from Bridgeport" radio show on WCPT 820AM Radio in Chicago with Jim Balcer and Gene Roy — with our long holiday weekend, please take a moment to give a listen. 🎧

🎤 We talk policing and even get to mention my books. 😁 We could have done a two-hour show! Maybe they'll have me back to talk specifically about writing. Enjoy!
