Interview with Author – J. A. Hailey
About J. A. Hailey: I WANT TO KEEP EVERYTHING UNDER WRAPS, but I can give a valid reason for my caginess, because while I am able to say that I am most often to be found living in and around NYC, I can state that I count it stupid to give any further details that would reveal my identity and pinpoint my address. I shall explain. When living in Dubai, I got dragged into a shouting match with a mega-bank, which then proceeded to ruin the life I was leading at the time.
