What a fun interview. The Rocky Road to Ruin looks like fun. It's high up on my TBR. What's better than a pairing of ice cream and murder??

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Don't tell Shari Randall, but Meri Allen could be her doppelganger! Great interview you two.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how similar they look... and even sound! Ice cream is a delightful concept.
