I suspect you knew that intuitively. :)<br /><br />I agree, there are things I can do with the Penns River books I can't do with Forte, which makes viable story ideas come more easily to mind. I like what Forte's into in the WIP, though the subject matter is so distasteful I'm be happy when this book is done and I can go back to The River.Dana Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350344882342624735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045057682441280238.post-24423864344552948692016-02-22T06:18:27.142-08:002016-02-22T06:18:27.142-08:00I enjoy the Penns River books a tiny bit more.

Also -- and you write so entertainingly, what I'm going to say next doesn't keep me from loving Nick -- to me all private eye novels feel slightly outdated. Guns, tough men and underworld contacts have to be less important these days than great computer and communication skills, maybe data-bank contacts. I imagine (and could be dead wrong) the best investigators today -- as opposed to the top security guys -- are nerdy, code-writing men and women manning multiple desktops.<br /><br />That said, I love it when Nick eyeballs a pretty woman's legs.Jack Getzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516237388744739669noreply@blogger.com
