Here is the first third of Castigo Cay, my next novel.

Okay, it's 3 am, and I just finished reading it..Why do you have to be such a gifted writer that I juat can't put anything down you've written until I've finished it. I have no resistance to the characters, and places, and tales your words paint.

Now I have to wait to find out what happens to Devil Dog Prechter, and Cori, and Dan...darn.. I'm already wondering which good guys are going to die.

You have no idea how gratifying it is for me, as a writer, to read a comment like that.

That means more to me than any other aspect. There are sure a lot easier ways to make a better living.
