Patti,

Everytime I read one of your stories you either break my heart or scare the poop right out of me. Lady, you make most of us look like pure-D amatuers when it comes to setting mood and atmosphere. Great story! (And great to see you up over at A-Twist of Noir!)

pattinase (abbott) said...

Right back at you, Keith. It's getting harder to keep up with you young'uns all the time.

Gary Dobbs/Jack Martin said...

And a mighty fine piece it is too

pattinase (abbott) said...

Thanks, Gary. Your words mean a lot.

Liked the story. Even with the title "Twist of Noir," your ending caught me by surprise.

Patti: One of my favorite things about your writing is the seamless way you give real depth and detail to all elements of a story. No easy task.

A great read as always.

Thanks so much, guys.

Don't retire any time soon, because you are the Barry Sanders of writing.

How kind, Cormac. I'll never forget my shock on hearing he was retiring. What a waste.

Maybe he saw what happened to Earl Campbell or another former NFL back who had as many carries. To have degenerative arthritis as such a young age is equally a waste.
