[stylist] Introduction

[William L Houts]

HI Thea,

No, the first novel is a bit of a train wreck, and has a gay protag 
anyway, so I couldn't get agents interested in it.  I think the novel 
I'm working on now has a lot more going for it so I'm focusing on that 
for the moment.  I read your post about the scam you've lived through 
and enjoyed it, if that's the right word.  It made me so angry, the way 
most human beings are trusting and trustworthy  while some few are 
manipulative vampires.  Your piece is so rich with the sense of human 
warmth, as with the people in the restaurant, contrasted with the 
scamsters.  I look forward to more of your writing.


--Bill
