Hi, Keith, I think they might have just been feeding me that
commercial idea about the detective, knowing that if they
bluntly asked me to get rid of the sex scene, I would balk. I
didn't figure that out till later. Let me see if I can find
that first chapter. I might be able to copy it and send a
file, if you really want to see it. I also have a very early
version of that which I egotistically put into a literary
magazine I was editing. I have a big box full of those. It
also has an interview with Harry Crews and an original story
by John Dufresne, and part of a novel of Larry Brown that was
never published anywhere else. I would be happy to give those
to anybody who would be willing to send a self-addressed
envelope. If anyone is interested, send me an e-mail and I'll
send you the address where to send the envelope. You know, at
the time, I was so sick of Sherri and thought she was at a
dead end, but as time goes on a sequel might be fun. I wonder
if a publisher would be interested in that idea. Thanks for
bringing it up. Vicki
