It's my first privately published novel. Hallmark achievement? I don't know.

Part of my wants to say - read the first two or three chapters. And another part of me says, forget it. So far I consider myself a pedestrian/adequate writer in both fiction and non-fiction venues.

I do have beginners luck, so it may be a hallmark achievement. A 24 y/o reader of the original novel said it changed his life.
