Eastern Panhandle Talk
with Rob Marino & John Gilstrap
Date: tBD
When it comes to politics, Bestselling Thriller Author John Gilstrap and I rarely agree on anything, so join us as we either celebrate, or grieve, the results of the 2024 presidential election. John and his sidekick Rob Marino will be interviewing me live on WRNR talk radio in Martinsburg, West Virginia. We'll also be discussing my latest novel, Enemies Domestic, set at a time when abortion is a crime and a dictator becomes president. The show is live, so you can call in (I'll need all the help I can get). Don't know the exact time I'll be on, but the program airs from 8-10 a.m. Eastern.
