Reminder! I’m hosting a live interview with Jess Haines tonight at 9:30pm EST. We’ll be talking all about her new H&W Investigations novel, Stalking the Others, and anything else that comes to mind. The interview won’t be posted for a couple of weeks, so if you want to hear it now, then make sure to meet us in the TalkShoe chatroom tonight!
