Gary E. Johnson interviewed me for Writers for Readers, a radio program hosted by 102.7 CHOP FM.

During our conversation, Gary asked me why I didn’t write more romance novels, given the fantastic romantic storyline in The Taking.

The Writers for Readers program airs every 2nd Wednesday @6:00PM EDT and Saturday @7:00AM EDT.

Update in 2025 - the experiment failed, I took down The Taking from both Royal Roads and Wattpad. Lesson learned: I need to refine my craft. I've since discontinued The Taking on Amazon.
