Thanks for the kind words, Steve! I’m enjoying the writing -- although the typical labyrinthine plot of the detective novel gets a bit dizzying sometimes (not just for me; the great Raymond Chandler famously forgot an entire character in "The Big Sleep," leaving one murder unsolved). For those of you who’d like to read more than you can see here, remember, you can read the first five chapters in their entirety over at goodbyeangelblog.wordpress.com. I’ll be adding updates -- and the occasional excerpt -- in the future as well. And as always, I welcome any feedback you might have.
