I’m maybe going to need to reread Dent before too long.

Thanks for the good luck wishes.
Warren Murphy is on my list, although I’ve been informed Destroyer doesn’t pick up until a few books in.
You did see the Warren Murphy set of writing advice Pete Grant linked to one day?

Thanks. I’ll take a look.
