Fantasy writer R.M. Holdsworth and I became friends at Thrillerfest this year; she’s posted a review of Mindbenders and the first part of a grueling interview on her site today: read it at http://rmholdsworth.blogspot.com/

Among other things, we discuss Renn’s character, the necessity of Greg and his PTSD, the importance of the Cold War to our writing and the possible genesis of ‘Mindbenders’ in the persons of Boris and Natasha. We also do a little (just a little) real mindbending.
