So a friend who shall remain nameless (because I would never reveal that Jean Brodsky suggested this), thought I should try my ridiculous idea of serializing my novel in sections so small that you won’t feel put upon if you read it. I am going to cheat and do a paragraph at a time. Hey, they’re very short paragraphs. I’m not going to tell you the title because it’s a very good title, in fact perhaps the best thing about the whole damn book, and everything else will pale in comparison.

Chapter One

When Matt asked me down to Charlottesville for the weekend, he made me promise not to Google Ledgerwood. He wanted to surprise me. Mission accomplished, Matt.
