Chris has recently published three short stories in an anthology of
writers called, Acoustic Reads compiled by Blacklight Publications, and
the topic of our conversation today. I have long admired Chris'

is the ultimate enabler of her long out-of-control son, who is once
again in hot water thanks to his wayward lifestyle.

Chances are if you’re a writer, you love to read and you love books and
you love words. Listening to other book lovers, avid readers, and book
experts, is entertaining, fills us with ongoing knowledge, reminds us of
