They help me tighten up my writing and I can focus on just one, very specific idea and try to get it across briefly. I’m glad you liked it — I enjoy writing very short stories every now and then.

It has several different stages -- a long setup, then a section that reminds me of a cross between The Mist and The Green Mile and a resolution that doesn't cheat. It also has the funniest, most blasphemous prayer scene I've ever read. This was a great book.

It seemed that there were times when they grappled with themselves over telling the other person about something awkward going on in their lives. Eventually they would come clean, but there wasn't complete transparency all the time--which wouldn't be realistic. I'm looking forward to Dark Delicacies. I've heard so much about it. I've met Del at WHC, and he and I are both characters in a Michael Slade novel. I’ll see your quibble and raise you a haggle!

I only have one quibble (is it possible for a writer to read a review and have none?): <i>Their relationship isn’t perfect; they keep secrets and tell lies</i> Emphatically not so; one of the main points I attempt to make about their relationship in <i>Prime</i> (and most of the related works) is that they're pretty much incapable of lying to each other or keeping secrets for any length of time. Have fun at Dark Delicacies and tell Del and Sue hi. What a great store! Thanks for the nice review, Bev. I only have one quibble (is it possible for a writer to read a review and have none?):

Their relationship isn’t perfect; they keep secrets and tell lies

Emphatically not so; one of the main points I attempt to make about their relationship in Prime (and most of the related works) is that they’re pretty much incapable of lying to each other or keeping secrets for any length of time.

Have fun at Dark Delicacies and tell Del and Sue hi. What a great store!
