I was really surprised at how easy it was to slip back into the skin of Finch and Steinbeck after a few years. I'd given up both of them as charcters a while back, when I thought nobody would be that interested (they still might not be) but I had a really fun time writing the story. Well I did once I ditched the first 4,000 words around midnight and started from scratch |

My (admittedly amateur) scale for how much a reader will enjoy reading a story? Directly proportionate to how much fun I had writing it

Okay, it's uploaded It's around 7,500 words and I had a crapload of fun, even editing it, so you can definitely expect me to publish the 3 Finch & Steinbeck mystery novels I wrote plus some more shorts in the future

Thanks for reading, and I hope it captures at least part of what I, and I believe you, love about the 40's Detective/Noir genre. Of course, it might not capture it all, and I might be completely deluded...in which case, it wasn't me, it was my brother Sergio, who wrote this story |

I thought Sergio was Moejoe's brother. Now he turns out to be Sam Luka's brother? I think your dad got "around", if you know what I mean ... for all we know, Zelda could be sister to all three of you!
In any case, I've downloaded and will get to it soonest ... |

The mysterious Sergio is an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a waxed moustache. Nobody knows where he might be, or what he's doing when he gets there |

I'm half-way through and noticed two things:
I like the plucky canine Steinbeck and I spotted another Joni reference in the "Mermaid Cafe". Good story so far. Thanks! Last edited by Moe The Cat; 08-16-2009 at 12:33 AM. |

Thanks for uploading this. I just downloaded and will have to push it to the top of my queue.
I love MR, but since I found it my reading queue has gotten ridiculously long. |

I pasted directly in from OpenOffice, it seemed okay on my reader earlier. Let me do a check on it EDIT: You're right, it's all kinds of borked I'm taking it offline while I try to figure out what's gone wrong Last edited by Moejoe; 08-16-2009 at 12:40 AM. |
