This month, I’m kicking off a new category on my blog site of “Guest Interviews” with other authors who write in the general category of paranormal mystery or suspense. I hope my readers will be interested in checking out books by these other writers, and vice versa. I have several authors in mind whom I’ve met personally and plan to invite to participate over the next few months.
My first guest is E. J. Copperman, a.k.a. Jeff Cohen. He is a fellow N.J. resident and we have shared a few lively panels over the years at mystery conferences. The same deadpan humor that earns him laughs in person also runs through his comic mysteries–and, I think you’ll agree, through his interview here, as well. Just click on the link above or below this post, and enjoy!
