			Sounds like this is something I'll have to buy the first of the month (after I get paid & before I spend all my $ on un-important things like rent, cable, food, etc.  Or perhaps it should be rent, food, cable.

			I guess a roof over your head and food in your belly would kind of aid the reading experience.

			Finished it this weekend. It was quite the page-turner. Thanks so much for making it easily available. Best wishes on the film negotiations - it would make a great movie.

			I purchased your book tonight.  It's next on my very long TBR list!  Because I have a niece with PS this will be one book that I write a review for.  Based on the Amazon reviews I can't wait to read it!  Thanks for the .99 deal.

			Sounds like a great read from the reviews and the description provided. This is a definite buy for me. Will be picking this up shortly and adding it to my TBR pile. Thanks for making this available at a very affordable price!!

			Thanks for that Desertway. I should be hearing something from Hollywood shortly. Thanks for giving the book a try ould, and cathbyb, I look forward to your review. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	One of the reasons I wrote the book was there doesn't seem to be a great deal of understanding amongst the general public as to the disease, difficulty empathizing in those rare cases in which a paranoid schizophrenic becomes violent (e.g., the Andrea Yates case in Texas) so to live inside the head of a person with PS, and who is at times psychotic, I'm hoping is instructive.  |

	I finished your book and have left a review on Amazon. I gave you 5 stars. I love mysteries but I all too often find that I have figured it out by the time that I am half way through. Not this time. You did a great job of keeping me guessing. It is very apparent that you put a lot of research into the learning about paranpoid schizophrenia. The lead character stayed consistant and true to the behaviors of that disease. Per chance will there be a sequel? I love Angus and would love to see him solve another mystery! Great job. I look forward to your next novel. Cathy  |

			Thanks so much for the review, Cathy, and I'm so glad the character met your expectations considering you've had personal experience with PS via your family. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I don't have a sequel in the works. There is a potential for a series here though. FYI, I do have another (co-written) book for the Kindle, "Frame-Up," which is not a sequel to "Crack-Up" though. We haven't got it available elsewhere just yet. Right now I'm writing a Gothic historical thriller set in New York City circa 1919.  |

			The sale on Crack-Up at 99 cents ends soon. I'll be raising prices on June 1st to $2.99. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Thanks again for all the feedback on this thread, folks, and to those who've left formal reviews on Amazon and at Smashwords (79% five stars, 95% 4 or 5 stars).  |

			A reminder non-US Kindle customer can get this for $2.99 during the sale -- a great price, too. It sounds like it will therefore be $5.99 in June -- so now's the time to check it out and have it delivered directly to your Kindle, too.
