Ron Riekki, who hails from Michigan's upper peninsula is a kind of Renaissance man. Here we talk about writing, mental health, and humanity!

Ron Riekki and I sat down together and talked for three hours about writing, writing in the Upper Peninsula and beyond, and we got downright philosophical. Ron shared many stories from his life in the military, in medicine, in the literary world.

Always great to talk to my darling Christopher!

Duane is great. He works hard, and can do all kinds of jobs on houses and cars. He drives an old truck with sticker on it that says "All Boobs Matter."

Monica Friedman is a writer and artist and cartoonist living in Tucson Arizona, and she is a delightful conversationalist. She knows how to show a gal a good time, and she took me to the Sonoran Desert Museum. We chatted in the car on the way there.
