It's a mystery why anyone would submit to an interview with me, but crime writer Chris Well has. Chris is the author of Forgiving Solomon Long, which one Amazon reviewer described as "a magnificent concoction that is part Sopranos, part Carl Hiaasen, and part Elmore Leonard. But mostly, it's all an edge-of-the-seat romp through Kansas City's underworld -- with the breaks off."

In the interview, Chris spoke openly for the first time about being kidnapped by gypsies as a young boy, the alien autopsy he conducted last year, and the time in junior high when mafia hitmen tried to prevent him from entering his science project in the fair. You'll weep as he recounts his struggle to master aikido and avenge the wrongs done to his great, great uncle during the Franco-Prussian War. You will also discover how to detect an FBI wiretap, make a crude fountain pen out of household items, and lift latent fingerprints off the surface of flowing water. And that's just in Chris's answer to my first question!
