martha,
i think he's wonderful, one of the best in the field, and
compares to nobody.
He cites Kem Nunn as an influence. I'm thinking that his
rambling, "getting way off the plot but who cares because
it's so cool" reminds me of people like Frederick Barthelme
and Ray Carver. The crime is there, which is a good thing,
but the world in which these characters live is just as
important.
Better than the Nick Stefanos detective series is GP's "DC
Quartet,"--Big Blowdown, King Suckerman, Sweet Forever, and
the upcoming Shame the Devil.

P.S. I didn't write an intro because I was on the list a
little over a year ago, had to take a break for a while, but
now I'm back. Editing the hardboiled webzine Plots With Guns.
