I was the guest author on the radio show Crime Time with Vito Collucci, P.I. on Sunday night, March 18. http://ping.fm/uScDE We had a great time chatting away after his Stupid Criminals introductory feature. The two incidents he talked about were the kind where you say, “That just can’t be real.” They were so funny, they set the tone for the show. Just click the link to listen to the show. It will open with a commercial, a bit of news and then Crime Time. It takes a short time for the recording to buffer and load, so be patient. It’s worth it. MORGAN ST. JAMES
