“So much more than a crime story.”

Chatter kicks off 2022 with awards, fake names and a compelling novel. David, Torie and COB alum Ed Aymar rave about Claude’s Marconi Award. The group discusses the ins and outs of pseudonyms. The pop quiz is a tie! Former bar owner/criminal defense investigator/English teacher and current lawyer James Kestrel (AKA someone else) zooms in from Hawaii to talk about his new novel Five Decembers. It’s got crime, corruption, war, romance and praise from Stephen King, the NYT and many more.
