So that's a bad question to ask me. I'm unusually well-satisfied with this one, though. I feel as good as I've ever felt about a book right after I've finished. There's a doctor friend of mine who I show everything to make sure the doctors sound like doctors, and I do the same with my friends in the Navajo Tribal Police. Something I wrote in a book 15 or 20 years ago most likely has changed since then, so I have to keep checking.
Writing takes a long time.
Well, Leaphorn and I think a lot alike. Chee not so much. I'd like them to say they got value added, they found a good mystery and they learned something about the Four Corners country and Navajo culture. Used under license.
