I have been longtime friends with Susan Bickford since our college years at Kirkland College. She grew up locally and sets her suspense novels in the hills of Central New York. Bickford has been a guest on my talk show ‘The Hot Seat’ several times discussing her novels, A Short Time to Die and The Dread of Winter. I am thrilled that my former roomie has achieved such distinction in the literary world! CHL
