I authored this book on the ride back from a skiing trip in Colorado during the winter of 2000. The trip was good, I had gotten to spend time with Seth, Jodi, and Kim. On the first day of snowboarding, I injured my knee and wrist. This novel is not finished and sometimes I consider it a false start. The next part or part two will be more interesting than the first. I think a revision to the first part will someday include a more balanced plot movement. Anyway, in any event, I hope you enjoy reading the beginning of this novel.
