A CHAT WITH THE AUTHOR

With the release of the new film, I spoke with Bonansinga about his book and the movie. He talked about his excitement about seeing his characters jump off the pages of a book and into the big screen. He shares his thoughts on director JJ Perry, who has a background in stunt work. Also talks about seeing Dave Bautista as Joe Flood. It was a fun conversation that you can check out below!
