Before September 11th, 2001, Andy Holloman owned a successful travel agency in the Triangle region of North Carolina. The murder of one of his clients, coupled with the collapse of his business, led him to start writing the material which would become a novel called "Shades of Gray" (Triple J Press/2011). The first-time novelist joins host Frank Stasio to talk about the lead-up to this book.
