I'm about to read the third chapter, and I have to say I like the story so far. The first chapter was a little rough, but,you got my attention, and I am still reading.I read a great deal. I mean volume-wise, I read a great deal. I read mysteries, sci-fi, horror, and yeah, even a bit of that Gothic stuff...I read the True Blood books.I am telling you this because I think since I read a lot, and am very particular about what I read, I think you might feel a little honored to be included with Dean Koontz, Stephen King Dan Brown, to name a few of the authors I read. Keep up the good work.In case you think this note is so I can toot my own horn...It is your work I am praising.RC
