Chris,
Great thinking! See, I knew you guys would help me make this lumbering
novel even better than what it currently is. For anyone interested, I hope
to post the first 10,000 words up on Authonomy.com as soon as I can get
around to making some much-needed revisions. Thanks again!
Joe

Joe,
I found this engaging and was disappointed when it ended so
abruptly. Nice
work. I might suggest a little more details about
setting--noises, clatter,
smells of fried foods, maybe a detail about an earring or new
beard Angel is
sporting. Not too much, just a sprinkling. I think of good fiction as a
three-legged stool: plot, character and setting.
You might also consider substituting "cojones"(pronounced
cahoonas, for JAWS
users) for balls, as your dialogue is Latino.
Thanks for sharing.
