Join Cheri this week, as she talks with Randall G. Thomas. Randall has been writing pretty much since he could hold a pencil.

Randall has self-published a chap book, The Interoffice Underground, which he also converted into a screenplay by the same name. He is currently shopping a book of short stories, and is in pre-publication of a novel of an action/humor novel. The stage play “Death and Velvet,” which he co-wrote with Cheri L. R. Taylor, was staged in 2012 in Las Vegas. He lives
