There's been a lot of criticism on the Amazon review boards about the grammar in "For Sale in Palm Springs". I agree, it needs an edit. When it was written, 7 years ago, I did have a professional editor proofread it. She was a technical editor who worked on software manuals, not a book editor. So it needs some work. But it is hard. This is something that I wrote seven years ago and by now tens of thousands (really!) of people have downloaded and read it. I really feel disconnected from the story and if I were to write it today, I would write something totally different. In fact, that is probably why my latest book, "Guilty by Association" is not making a lot of progress. Readers have said that I "owe" another book to them. Ya know what. I don't. I'll probably finish "Guilty by Association". This year even. But I may find a way to kill Henry Wright. He's getting a bit stodgy.
