The deal

I never did manage to sell this novel. Since people have expressed interest in reading it, I'm putting it up online, in full, as a "shareware" novel. If you read it, and you enjoy it, and you are so inclined, please click on the alarm bell below and send me a dollar or whatever you think it's worth (the payment is made via PayPal, but you don't need a PayPal account).

For non-monetary feedback (which is prized above diamonds, I tell you), please feel free to drop me a line (Church.Hill.Stories at gmail dot com) or post to the guestbook page at the end. I'd be delighted to hear from you. In fact, that's the only way, short of my being unhealthily obsessive about the web stats, that I'll know anyone has read it.

Thanks for reading.
