Rupert Holmes Interview for Authors on the Air

This afternoon, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the creative genius that is Rupert Holmes. I was invited to be the guest interviewer by Pam Stack and we, of course, talked about his excellent new novel MURDER YOUR EMPLOYER. While the official interview is...

What Have We Done – The BOLO Books Review
